Must-ash. I would just say 'tash though because I am probably common.

I'm a must-dash too; not moose-tash, that's way pretentious.

MargaretMountford · 29/04/2008 11:40

don't mind 'tache, it's just the stosh that annoys

DS (3yo) calls it a mustaff
I'd say mustash
stosh is just wrong isn't it?

Moo-Starsh (not with an 'r' but with an elongated 'a' IYSWIM)

Does that make me pretentious?

Bridie3 · 29/04/2008 11:48

'Ere, shinyshoes, what is it about me that makes you suddenly remember to remove facial hair, eh, eh?????

shinyshoes · 29/04/2008 11:51

Bridie twasnt you.

I was sat here twiddling the ends whilst typing

Bridie3 · 29/04/2008 13:02

Hee hee!! ;)

asicsgirl · 29/04/2008 13:54

Yes but which syllable is stressed?

mus-TARSH

or

MUS-tarsh

First one for me, but then my mum says 'thee-ET-er' (theatre) and 'ga-RAGE' so I think pretentiously foreign-sounding pronunciations run in our family

TheRedWorm · 29/04/2008 14:00

MUS-tash is American isn't it?

TheRedWorm · 29/04/2008 14:02

I pronounce it m'stosh.

LittleWonder · 30/04/2008 15:11

m'starsh

Oh for phonetic symbols...

DarthVader · 05/05/2008 19:23

shouldn't we be asking the owners how to pronounce?

asicsgirl · 05/05/2008 19:25

Not sure I trust men with facial hair...
