Bob Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 'Fill-it', though both are acceptable. I'd only use the 'Fill-ey' if it was a French sounding dish, e.g. 'fillet mignon' or summat reet foreign like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 [Very disorientating Camerawork. The "audience" can be heard yelling out where they think the fish is] Strange Man: I wonder where that fish has gone? Transvestite: You did love it so, you treated it like a son. Strange Man: And it went... where-ever I... did go. [bends perplexingly long arms] Transvestite: Is it in the cupboard? Wouldn't you like to know! It is a most elusive fish. [strange Man twiddles some brass taps sown to the breasts of the Transvestite's corset] Strange Man: That went where-ever I did go. Transvestite: Oh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish! Strange Man: A fish, a fish, a fishy OOOOH! Transvestite: Oh, fishy, fishy, fishy fish! Strange Man: That went wherever I... did go!

Guest mk47 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 hehe i know its not all fishy but this was in relation to the fish burger that mcd's sell and they dont seem to understand what you mean unless you add the 'mc' before everything. large mcfries etc. fill-ay of fish.

ivan Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Fill-IT if you're a real Brit. Fill-EY if you're a posh twat who's trying to impress everyone within earshot (or a bird in a restaurant). Seriously, fillit in all normal circumstances. Filley only suits French menu items such as fillet mignon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamanC Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Fill-EY - if its fish related. Fill-IT - everthing else. I have absolutely no idea why i do this thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooze Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well, for the word "FILLET", I believe the correct British pronunciation is "fill-it", but the American pronunciation is "fill-ay". The issue is, however, is the fact that McDonalds use the slightly-more-poncy spelling with a single "L" (go on - look closely at the menu), "FILET", which, I believe, should always be pronounced "fill-ay" in both British and American English.
