How do you pronounce Domme? - 1/27/2011 3:26:08 PM

I thought I would put this in the "Ask a Mistress" section, since technically, you are the Dommes. I learned that Domme was pronounced the same as "Dom." But I have heard other people pronounce it as "Dom-AY".

As far as I know it's a made-up word (yes, all words were originally made up) to differentiate between a male and female Dom. It seems like "Dom-ay" would be more helpful in conversation because you would already eluding to the fact the Dom is female. If you were to prounounce it as "Dom" that could leave the sex of the person in question, leading people to feel the need to qualify, "female Dom".

Which do you prefer? Why? Or do you just not care?

A good number of Dominant women will tell you that the pronunciation which sounds like Dom-ay is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

When you pronounce the word "femme" you don't say it like the word fem-ay, do you?

Depends on the Domme really, I will give you a short list so you can jus expand upon as you learn.

LadyPact- Oh Goddess my Goddess.
LaTigress - Ouch! Owe! Yes Ma'am.
SexyBossyBBW - Command me my goddess *scrape grovel lick*
KC- *gulp* Your wish is my command my Lady.

So, as you can see that it is, in fact, spelled Domme, it has many pronunciations.

Ignore FukinTroll, notnewnot, he tends not to take important matters seriously and jokes at inappropriate times.

Short Dommes - those under 5' 5", prefer the 'dommie' pronunciation and will be especially impressed if you use the unabbreviated term, which is 'Dommiewommey' - or 'Dommiewommeykins' if they're under the age of 25. However, all femdoms would prefer, most of all, to be referred to as 'girls', 'girlies', or 'skirt'.

KEWL! At least five homonyms.
Use it in a sentence, such as, "The Domme looked calm as she went all 'nam and dropped da bomb on the ass of peom who called her a skirt, 'til he finally salaamed. To Brahms."

It's only the electronic medium of the internet that is protecting either one of you just now.

Agreed. There's at least one boy who needs a takedown and i'll happily "handle" that one while you deal with the other. :-)

To notnewnotexp: Here's a serious answer for you. The word "domme" is pronounced "dom" (as in dominant). Adding the "ay" on the end isn't well received by any kinkster I've met who has experience with language. True, it is a made-up word, but it's my understanding it follows the traditions of French, masculine and feminine pronunciation, and this is a very common understanding amongst experienced kinksters.

...with apologies to FuckinTroll and Peon for spoiling the fun.

Short Dommes - those under 5' 5"

Ahem.

Average UK female height is 5'4"

Therefore women who are 5'5" are not short. Lucky bitches.

(I would have linked to a thread on fetlife where several people who've met me attest to my non-cuteness, but recently my SO turned them ALL AGAINST ME, so I don't even have that any more :-( )

I'm actually vaguely curious as to how that happened?

SLURP!

Well I can't have you taking my vaguely curious niche now, Mr Troll, can I?

She took a sarcastic quote from me out of context and posted it - it's a little more than halfway down, where it goes from 3 months ago to 17 days ago.

Also, to actually answer the question:

quote:

I learned that Domme was pronounced the same as "Dom."

Yup. Because IRL it's the same word - in most cases it's obvious if you're talking about a man or a woman. Unlike the internet, where everyone's gender is suspect until they show their tits

quote:

But I have heard other people pronounce it as "Dom-AY".

Which is so affected it's painful. I have heard someone say it like that *once*. I managed to keep a straight face, but it was a close-run thing.

Haha! That's not fetlife's fault - that's because my RL kink friends have a combined mental age of five. I only keep them around because they make me laugh...

I'm not. Seriously, I'm not cutesy. I have lesbian hair and piercings and a tattoo of a half-naked girl on my thigh. I don't think I own a single piece of pink clothing.

Sometimes I want to kill Jeffffff with a spade for starting the whole 'cute' thing. Surely that's not a cute thought?

God, what put so much lead in your pencil while you were away, feisty chappy that you've become? Whatever it was, can you send me some? ;-)

Don't listen to him. He's just highly impressionable. Jeffffffffffffff had got to him before he'd even met me. We're talking international conspiracy here....
