    pawb is welsh for “everybody” and it’s pronounced /pau̯b/

    why, what did you think pawb meant?

    Personally, I pronounce it “POB” because W’s are hard :p

    Though, I totally didn’t realize when I chose the domain that Pawb also meant “everybody” in Welch as @match@pawb.social mentioned, but I think it makes it all the better :3

    Since it’s just a silly corruption of paw / paws I personally always pronounce the ‘b’ sound in my head so it’s distinct.

    Pawbs!

    Was wondering the same thing. Mostly I’ve been pronouncing it with the b like how I would with the word ‘knob’ but occasionally I find myself saying it like ‘paw bee’.
