How do you pronounce pawb? Is the b silent? Is it a meme? (pawb.social)

pawb is welsh for "everybody" and it's pronounced /pau̯b/

why, what did you think pawb meant?

[–] Foxfire@pawb.social 0 points 2 years ago

Since it's just a silly corruption of paw / paws I personally always pronounce the 'b' sound in my head so it's distinct.

Pawbs!

Was wondering the same thing. Mostly I've been pronouncing it with the b like how I would with the word 'knob' but occasionally I find myself saying it like 'paw bee'.
