He just took a drink of water too. Imagine if Carney had done a spit take.

Gagged. Are you all really hearing gay or is this a big troll?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Not a troll. I heard it when I watched live and didn't figure out he meant gagged until he said it a second time. Listening to it again I can hear it either way, his pronunciation at the end is just a little off.

[–] AChiTenshi@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago

I heard gay on my first viewing. After playing it again I picked up on what he was actually trying to say. I think k it's something along the lines of mondegreen where you can hear the wrong words in songs.

[–] AGM@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 week ago

This and referring to everyone on stage as "contestants" were both pretty funny.

[–] Daryl@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wow. Just silliness. The only residual discussion after the debate is "Did he say 'gay' or 'gagged'?"

Says a lot about the importance of the debate in the overall election.

[–] el_muerte@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Think I read some study several years back (probably following the Trump-Clinton one) that concluded almost everyone always perceives their "team's" candidate as having won the debate, and the number of voters swayed by a stellar performance from another candidate is negligible.

Yeah, they're pretty damn pointless...

[–] Daryl@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Except the news media thinks they are, so we will probably continue to have them, if not just for the entertainment value. They fill in some of the 'air time'.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 weeks ago

Did PP's wife (who is present in way too high a percentage of his publicity material) know about this in advance? 🀣

[–] Redex68@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He obviously said gagged. It literally sounds more like gagged than gay even if he did mispronounce.

[–] RoquetteQueen@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I agree it's obvious he meant to say "gagged", but it absolutely sounds like he said "gay".

[–] BCsven@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah he said it like Gaygd

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

He needs the Forrest Gump "d" in there.

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Every accusation is a confession...

Seriously, probably meant to say gagged, and failed miserably. I still think it's a shit excuse.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

PP is gay, make it known to his shitty conservative voters pls.

[–] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They see him as a strongman. You won't have any luck with this.

[–] twopi@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

I think that's why conaervatives like PP but not JT.

Conservatives want to be the bottom so they don't like leaders they can fuck but rather prefer leaders who can fuck them.

[–] Nuxleio@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Holy shit guys. I need to get my security clearance!

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 weeks ago

He obviously misspoke but that's hilarious

It's a 17 second video…

[–] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website 15 points 2 weeks ago

Weird, Voyager is just displaying it as an image. Opening it in Firefox linked me to the Imgur video.

My bad!

[–] BinzyBoi@lemmy.ca 76 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I think he was trying to say "gagged" but it does sound like "gay" lol

[–] danielquinn@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

He definitely says "gagged". This post is ridiculous.

[–] skozzii@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 week ago

This response is pretty gay, imo.

[–] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 30 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

... You might be right. He has a weird accent, and if he pronounced the 'a' like an American and swallowed the 'gg' ...

Or maybe that's the secret do defeating the Conservatives? "We can totally make an LNG pipeline to the coast, but ... err ... that would make you all pretty gay."

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

gay and gagged dont sound alike?

[–] Taniwha420@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No... Not at all. "gae" Vs "gahgged". Gay has a hard A, gagged had a soft A. Plus gagged had a 'gg' sound in the middle, and also a D sound at the end. Actually, the only thing they have in common is starting with a G.

Do they sound the same to you?

[–] cod@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it like that. Everyone I know says β€œgaygged”. Must be a regional thing or something.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

almost everyone saying "GAAAG-ED" never heard of GAYED.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

or fruedian slip?

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

It reminds me of my teacher from northern Wisconsin that would say words like "bag" and "flag" as "bayg" and "flayg". She would say "back" and "flack" like you'd expect but for some reason "-ag" words got the different vowel

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Um, can we make this happen? Like immediately?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Oh man, I was for LNG but that's pretty gay tho. Gotta have to cancel.

[–] BinzyBoi@lemmy.ca 15 points 2 weeks ago

Re-watching it, and yeah, has to be gagged. If you listen closely, there's a small "click" after what at first sounds like "gay", which is likely an "ed" sound.
