      Knowing the etymology of “craphas”, for pronunciation I split the word between the P and the H. Are there those of you who are looking at the word and making the PH the usual blend and saying “craffas”? 😉

      I can’t wait till this word starts coming up in spelling bees now!

      It’s actually crah-PAHS, with the accent on the second syllable.

          Are you sure? Sounds like one of those regional differences to me, like you can tell what part of Wisconsin someone is from by how he/she says “craphas”.

            Has anyone here read a kids’ book called “Frindle?” You could read it in an evening, but it’s a great book. Kid decides to call a “pen” a “frindle.” Strict teacher won’t accept it, because it’s not in the dictionary. The use of the word snowballs anyway (ha ha) until the kid makes national news.

            I won’t spoil the ending for anyone who might want to read it. It’s a fun book. The author has written several more, but this one’s been around awhile, cause I did a read aloud with our own two boys who are now 20 and 23.

            This whole business kinda reminds me of the book.

            Hey that’s no joke! Da wife and I were vacationing in Paris quite a number of years ago and they had this “NFL express” type broadcast on where they cut out all the commercials and in-between play stuff so that a 60 minute game actually lasted just 60 minutes.

            Anyway, I had no idea what the French announcer was saying except for the occasional instances of “Brett Fah-vray” 😆

            Yeah, it was funny, but my French was even funnier. 😳

            The bubblers always freeze when the craphas starts falling, which means you best head inside for a glass of pop instead.

            I agree with this!
