A sarnie is a sandwich, FYI.

I think it means the same thing as pricipal caught sayof.

Farking brilliant. Incorporate the shelf life and upgrade cycle of a PC into a big ticket item like a TV.

From the address, it looks like it was supposed to be "touts" instead of "outs." As far as the rest of it... I don't know. I have a two year old, so finding an ice cream sandwich in the television is well within the range of probability at my house, but I wouldn't count it a feature worthy of a press release.

Slaxl: Usually I enjoy defending Britishisms from you American masses, but in this case I dislike 'sarnie', so I won't. However, technically, it's perfectly cromulent.

I never liked it either. It sounds too much like "sardine" and I always unconsciously associate the two and assume it will taste of them no matter what the actual ingredients.

Where the fark does the "r" come from??

At least the Rachel Ray "sammie" and the Fark "sammich" just shift "n" to "m", a small shift in a labial consonant.

/heh heh I said labial

Somebody needs translation^?

NO.

The name of the product is Ice Cream Sandwich. You can't call it something close to it to be cute (or "cheeky" as you crooked toothed farks call it). you're supposed to be journalists FFS. Use real words. If the Prime Minister had abdominal surgery would you say "Primey gets a wee cutty bit in his tum tum"?

Jesus I hate you all.

p.s. Giving the word sandwich a silly name like 'sarnie' is nothing compare to what you idiots call this...

The LG set was cool, but remember it was Apple who first brought out a television with a built in OS, and iOStv is way better than Android anyway.

All this butthurt about "sarnie" and nothing about "goggle box"?

Besides, wasn't the sandwich originally named after the Earl of Sandwich, who was, indeed, English? Think he'd mind his title being changed to Earl of Sarnie?

I got weed-eater, Hweed-Hwacker, string trimmer, and weeder. Which of them is the "offensive to you" version?

Hold on, I've gotten to the Wiki and boy are there some dumb names:
strimmer, line trimmer, weed whip, weedy, or whipper snipper
While I think Line Trimmer is fine and Weed Whip is an awesome pot-smoking/rollerskating-move crossover, I assume the Brits are calling it a "weedy", which would be fine if they were talking about the place where they were going to use the device, but just causes confusion by calling the thing the EXACT OPPOSITE of its intended purpose.

I never heard this called anything other than a Strimmer.

"Lenovo outs Ice Cream Sarnie telly, or why I hate British English headlines."

You don't own it, submerica, you've just raped it.

barefoot in the head: "Lenovo outs Ice Cream Sarnie telly, or why I hate British English headlines."

Hate to tell you this, but English no longer belongs to the British. It's the Americans'. Two-thirds of all native English-speakers in the world live in the United States, and the British government hasn't had more influence than that of the US since the 1940s.

/it's the President's English now

I won't be lectured to about language by any country with people in it stupid enough to pronounce F-A-V-R-E "Fahrve". Don't tell me it's French and you hate the sound of Frenchy, or "That's how the family pronounces it". Just pick up your hooked-on-phonics hog and go home.

And you might think you speak "native" English, but I'd rather listen to an Oxford educated Indian than any of you, ever. Even the Nigerians are far more pleasant to listen to than you lot.

Bwah-hah-hah.
As if the Oxford-educated Indian wouldn't come here for a job anyway.

As far as I can tell, various social classes and local dialects in England do the following:
"Supernova" has an r at the end.
"Right" is pronounced with an o
"A" has three syllables
"th" is pronounced "v"

Kind of like how the vast majority of Spanish-speakers no longer have ties to Spain.

Not as long as most of your countrymen are subliterate knuckle-dragging cretins it isn't.

FrancoFile: Where the fark does the "r" come from??

It's simply a shift from a flat "a" sound to a rounded one.

No, that would go "an" to "ahn", not "an" to "ahrn". Why do you Brits insist on inserting an "r"??
Is Stephen Sondheim's last name pronounced "Sohrndheim"?

To be more precise:
Flat "a" followed by an "n" = ban, fan, man
Rounded "a" followed by an "n" = bahn, as in autobahn or bon-bon
Farked up Brit rounded "a" followed by an "n" = barn, darn, yarn

For the same reason they (and Canadians) say thee end, or thee arrangements ( although that is changing, especially among young, crass, impressionable girls).

It is to avoid the ugly ("thee ugly") glottal stop, which sounds awful, as in "thuh ugly", "thuh end", "thuh answer", which is what Americans say (and young, crass, impressionable girls).

The "arr" is added to avoid the glottal stop when one says "I saw a ...", which becomes "I sawr a ". This way, the glottis does not close.

This should not be confused with the American affectation where the word "a" is pronounced like the alphabet "a" in a sentence, for fake importance - "Ay spectacular play!" "Ay major announcement". The letter is only pronounced in its ("long") alphabet way when referring to the letter of the alphabet. Otherwise it is pronounced in the short form "a". So stop it. Now.

Yeesh, give me glottal stops over phantom "r"s any day of the week.

That still doesn't explain why it's inserted in the middle of word with plain consonant-vowel-consonant order.
