What is a Cunarder?

[skleeb]

So, help me out, Cunarders....... Is it pronounced CUE-NARD or CUN-ARD? Cu-NArd or Cue-Nard?

Like  scon and scown pronunciation for scone, I'll bet there are a few interpretations.

 

I'll go with Cue-nARD, heavy on the last three letters for me.

I love the sound of that last one...very classy! But in reality for us New Yawkers, it's more like 

Ka Nard....(giggle!)

I think the Cue could be pronounced  Coo , as in cuckoo, this would be quite musical.

Not being a Cunarder or an expert, I'm not sure but how about Cue-nerder?

 

Coo-nard, sounds lazy rather than musical!

Agreed :   for the first syllable think “QUEUE”  rather than “KOO”; followed, perhaps, by “NARD” — but certainly not “NERD”.

Cue Nerd was a joke☺,  but it seems Cunarders take everything seriously
