@23

Never in my wildest dreams would/should I hear a “rap sonnet” combining the words…..mafia, “lot to ya”, opera and tilapia (fish).

Btw, excellent stiff arm.

Tony Franklin system bitches! Only $2,965 on Ebay. Julio Jones can certainly do that, once he gets a little bit of that Jimmy Johns product in him right around week 4, is arrested in Tuscaloosa, and is promptly suspended for pre-game warm-ups in accordance with Saban’s discipline policy.

#16, the answer to the last question is that hacienda is a Spanish word and the name of Mexico is derived from Nahuatl.
According to the Real Academica Espa�ola hacienda comes from the Latin facienda.
The closest approximation on how a native English speaker should pronounce the name Julio, without using the International Phonetic Alphabet, would be “Who-Lee-oh.”
I am not a linguist, but I suffered through linguistic courses as both an undergrad and grad.

I think it should be shortened to JuJo (& pronounced Hoo-Jo).

Certainly JuJo will be a household nickname across Alabama by the Arkansas (pronounced Arkansaw )game??

@16: I vote HOO-lee-o HO-nays. It’s a vote for consistency. Joe Morgan would approve.

Saving a cat from a tree? Sounds like a code phrase for chasing pussy & drankin underage at The Booth.

Alright linguists, how is Julio Jones pronounced?

Is it:
“hulio” jones? “J” pronounced “h” as in Tejas and junta.
“hulio hones”?
“walio wones”? “Ju” pronounced “wa” as in Tijuana and Juan.

Why is “hacienda” not spelled jacienda? And if “j” is “h”, why is Mexico pronounced meh he co?

Nah….Tate ain’t got them hops. Julio just flew in undetected and unseen, picked him up and dropped him on his ass.
