How do you pronounce these?

Pull, full, bull.

Do you say them as in hull? (short U sound) Or as in pool? (long U sound, like double O)

I have a friend that says bullshit like BOOLshit, and he says pull and full with the same U sound.

How do you say it?

Also, post where you're from/region.
 
is your friend from the mid atlantic or south? I feel like I say it closer to pool and everyone rips on people from maryland for crap like that
 
I dont say it like hull (Huhl) but I dont say it like pool either. Kinda in the middle and hard to explain. I'm from the northeastern USA.
 
No, we're both from the Cincinnati area. A lot of people say it with the "oo" sound, but there are some that say it with the U sound. I think the double O just sounds wrong.
 
hull = huhl

so do you say pull = puhl ? or more like poohl?

buhl?

those just sound wrong to say pull and bull and full like hull.
 
I have only ever heard people pronounce dull like it is pronounced on that site, the right way. Dull doesn't rhyme with full or bull.
 
the pronunciation on the site does use the oo sound, look right under the sound clip button and it shows the pronunciation as [bool]

and lol apparently gato pronounces dull as dool
 
DONE, WE WILL CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION IN BOULDER IN DECEMBER.

^ but you said bull rhymes with dull which it does not

and 5HEEP just go listen to the links I posted, those are the correct pronunciations of all 4 words

pull, full, and bull all sound similar

dull does not sound like any of those words

I know this is a stressful time for you. I would be upset too if I found out that my entire grasp of the english language was a lie perpetuated by half of the midwest.
