Question

Fans discuss why the episode features a character named Deloris, debating whether the name is meant to rhyme with clitoris as a crude joke.

These make sense to me.

But, Deloris?

Somebody explain, plz

Doesn't make sense to me either. Somebody thought it rhymed with clitoris.

That is exactly what they meant, and it does rhyme :)

I thought her name was Regina.

Delores and clitoris don't rhyme. Look up clitoris in the dictionary and you'll see that the accent is on the first syllable. It's CLIT-a-ris, NOT clit-TOR-is, which Jerry apparently thought.

Oh Please! Just say the words and you see that they rhyme. With me now: CLITORIS and DOLORES......btw, that is how you spell Dolores.

CLITORIS and DOLORES......btw, that is how you spell Dolores.

Clitoris>> Has 2 accepted pronunciations. Delores>>Proper Name....has a few different spellings.

Put them both together and you have FUN...or a lawsuit!

however, as has been discussed here and elsewhere, clitoris is likely the word in question...everyboy go get your OED.

High Five, WT

are you serious? I think they were reffering to the Clitoris.

They learned how to pronounce it from Elaine. Example: Stupersticious

Here we go again. I guess it has been a couple weeks now. Hey, Dave! I must have skipped over this one in the FAQ. Either that or it wasn't there and desperately needs to be included. :-)

Duly noted.  FWIW, both pronunciations of the body
part are perfectly acceptable; the one that rhymes
with Delores, and the one that sounds like cliteriss.

Poll.

How do you say it?? Do you say it to rhyme with Delores? Or do you say it to rhyme with fitter-is??

Well, according to Webster's, either pronunciation is correct. The second is the more common, but either is acceptable.

But only if you pronounce "clitoris" incorrectly.

clit*o*ris (noun),

Found on AOL's online dictionary. It seems to rhyme with Deloris to me.....

The accent in clitoris is stronger on the first syllable (CLIT or is), the accent in Delores is the second syllable (De LOR es). I stand by my post! Mary, who actually thinks this is quite silly

It can, in some parts of Alabama. I think it's pretty obvious what Delores is supposed to rhyme with; they could have come up with a "better" name for ass.
