How do you say and spell ........ ?

I think there might be the faintest hint of a glottal stop.

Not a full one, but sometimes a hint.

Oh oh
no t anyplace

Okay, two from Australia have reported...

glottal stop...yeah..but not reflected in the spelling.....

Just replace "uh" with a schwa, since the "h" would suggest an unvoiced exhalation of breath or at least a trailing off of the vowel sound, neither of which is the case.

ah-o

is how I'd pronounce it. But to see it in print has always been Uh-Oh

I say and spell it uh-oh. But, it sort of defies technical phonics.

I never heard anyone ever say "Ut-oh." Didn't even know it was an issue.

pdawg, good point. Maybe u-oh.

Really think as you say it...it's always a little weird saying two vowels so closely to each other....notice what happens between the uh and the oh, how you move from one to the other.

Definitely not a t, but feel what happens.

It's not an issue. It's a curiosity. Language is always changing, nothing is correct, everything is about what's convention.

How come Dick and Jane never said "uh oh". Was it because the writers couldn't figure out how to spell it?

My sibs, all born as I was, in Connecticut, say "uh oh" but I may have picked something up in my speech by living in the West for twenty-five years. Now I have to check with folks in Oklahoma and Texas.

Scooby-do says "Rut-row". Definitely has a 't' at the end of the first syllable.

Joe( what do you make of that clue?)Nation

I say "Uh oh" every time, But, I now think it is possibly because I have read it that way for so many years. (Even as a child, I did not use "Oh oh" because it sounded lame, even at that age.

"Ut-oh!"

Yeah, I thought I was saying "uh oh" too. I know I say "uh" with an 'h' when I'm pausing or can't think of what comes next, but a few days ago on a run I began to actually listen to what I was saying when I said "Uh-oh".

(I have been listening to a book on the roots of English and the influences of Celtic, proto-Germanic and even Phoenician dialects on how we speak. I was fascinated at how carefully the narrator was saying the very narrow differences amongst a set of words.)

So, after resting for awhile, I said "uh-oh" while listening. Huh. There it was. a teeny bit of 't' at the end of the first syllable. Fun.

And there is this:

You are.
They are.
I am.
You are not.
They are not.
I am not.
You aren't
They aren't
I (uh-oh) amn't ???

No, you can't say "I amn't" and you can't say "I aren't", you say:

I'm not.

Because, for one thing, you can never put aren't and I together because I is singular and aren't is plural.

I am right about that, aren't I?

uh.
Amn't I?

This is, by far, the very definition of trivia.

For years I've wondered about that, as it raises the question for me: whoever heard someone pronounce it as 'Ut-oh'? No one I've ever heard pronounced it that way, but I often see it written that way.

it's pretty much oh-oh 'round here
though some people say something that does sound more like uh-oh

I say it more like this....ought oh....as if you cut the "th" off of thought, sometimes I say it with a "w" in the front as well.....wought O.....which is sort of short hand for Wow, holy ****.

In Japan it is Oh! Oh! Oh!

In English it is Uh oh.

Sometimes Uh oooooh, if it is a depressingly recurring event.

You put you tongue on the ridge behind your teeth when you say uh-oh?

When I say uh-oh my tongue is placed at the bottom of my mouth.

No "T" sound at all.
