Its just another chapter in his bitter fuck you album known as CD. Let's hope he gets it out of his system so he can start writing some good stuff.

[GunsNRevolvers2]

I pronounced it as "Scrapped" for about a month after the release haha

But yeah, it's "Scr-ape-d" like.."Ouch! I scraped my knee on the pavement!" chyeaah

[MicEffecT]

There are my faves lol.

1. To come into sliding, abrasive contact.

2. To rub or move with a harsh grating noise

To cum into while sliding?

Does it really make a grating noise? I think they're confusing it will balls slapping on the ass.

I got in trouble once on here for using the term "retard". I got a very polite (seriously) PM about it.

Therefore to avoid future PM's......I'll just think the term instead of typing it.

Ever considered the possibility that maybe English isn't the topic starter's native tongue?

Moron.

Here it is:

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/scraped - From "Scrape". Click the icon after the word in the link to hear the pronunciation.

The guy asked a legit question, it's not because he's dumb or illiterate. What you native English speakers don't get is that the sound of "A" in many countries is not "ey" (like in "scrape") neither "eh" (like in "scrap") or even "oh" (like in "car"). Here in Brazil, for example, A is always pronounced "ah" (like in "star"). That's why most of us foreigners get confused with the various sounds of "A" in English, and yeah, better ask than keep saying it wrong. It completely changes the meaning of the word.

At least two people who admitted to being confused now, or for sometime in the past, were native English speakers. One from Australlia and one from Boston.

As for the OP, they did not indicate.

But had they been literate, they could have went to any number of free online sites to do a little investigation. So as to not, instead, post such a fantastic topic.

They could have typed "How do you pronounce Scraped?" into Google in less time. I assume Google exists in all parts of the world.

It's not a language question as it is a lack of literary resourcefulness.

[rapemymind]

haha. Illiterate? another language?

No

The reason I ask is that someone brought it up while waiting for 12 hours in the Montreal cold to see the show on the 27th.

Seriously , what a douche comment :/ but that's mygnr and forums in general for you.

[CoBrA2168]

I actually confuse it all the time. Don't know why, cause my first language is also English.

I think it is because I feel "scraped" is such a weird song title. They should have just called it "Lies They Tell"

I guess. But forums aren't Ask Yahoo!

And scraped is a 5th grade word.

Did you even try googling that phrase, before suggesting it? Here Now, please point me to the relevant result.....

Wasn' that the supposed title that was in a "leaked" tracklisting before Chi Dem came out? I'm sure I remember seeing that title.

Thinking of

The Lies They Tell (Eric Cadieux Club Mix)

[jellyzero]

It was listed as "Scraped (Lies They Tell)" on Best Buy's website prior to the release of the album.

I find that people who are really intelligent don't belittle the intelligence of others. Rather they participate in conversation by hearing a question, and either answering the question if they feel they can contribute constructively, or saying nothing.

Just a thought.
