What's up with this weird-ass garble of calling herbs "erbs"?

When I pass a joint I say 'ere, not here

in mother russia, herbs call you

Now I've herbed it all.

I dislike the h sound and refuse to use it. Plus, I appreciate the use of brevity wherever it can be fit in.

it's a UK Cockney thing to "refuse" to pronounce the H in most words

they'll even say:
we went to (h)ospital

King enery the eighth

in english pronunciation, certain consonants are sometimes silent.

a leading 'h' is sometimes silent.

honesty
honor
hour
heir

and...

herbs.

if you're going to break the rule by adding a ha-sound,
then be sure to break it for all the silent-h words.

otherwise you're just being arbitrary..

It is properly pronounced ERBS

when we toke on a doobie we don’t exhale. Yeah bra, we say ‘pass the ‘ersheys’. We get passed the car keys, then drive to the gas station for munchies, then remember ’ersheys and drive home and forget house keys. who’s keys. We all shout for ersheys.

Visit Jamaica Mon!

I always pass the Dutchie to the right ‘and side

UK pronunciation includes the "H" sound
US pronunciation does NOT include "H" sound

Erb is ghetto slang for weed.

So the average American will say:

"Ello. Ow ot is it today, Uncle Erb? The ot chick down a the otel reception said it's gonna be like one undred degrees today!"

Got it.

Will you be my friend?

Scrapbook approved!

yeah watching American tv annoys me when I hear them say erb

H stands for a fence, 'an the cockney don't want to be walled in

Poor Laziness.

Many pronounce HeighT as Hyth.

I began this assault on silent letters!

And do not add letters that don't belong like an "r" that isn't there!!

Pizza does not end with an "r"

Silent letters are just another form of oppression - AOC

Not oppression, just insanity...
