That would be "debris", i.e. chucks of material that's fallen off other cars
as they either hit eachoter of something solid along the track.

We pronounce it "d'bree" around here.  I guess the poms must pronounce it
"day-bree"

Wow.  That's a funny one.  Does the guy say "'day-bre"?  The correct
pronunciation, or at least the accepted pronunciation, is "de-'bre".

Now it's a different story if there's a chick named Debbie, soakin' drunk,
who dashes onto the track as the cars head into turn one.  Then Debbie turns
into debris, and they are one and the same thing.

No, I think she's actually the one who washes your visor when you pit,
disguised as the good-old 2d pixelated hand.

Just figure that Geoff Crammonds' mastery of English pronunciation is as
complete as his mastery of racing physics and computer programming...

I am a pom and I pronounce it "d'bree". Some people say "deb-ree". Nobody
says "day-bree".

Hi John,

I expect it is supposed to be "debrie" as in broken bits of cars on
the track after a crash.

That was pretty funny.  Dave Henrie is also funny.  He usually gets me to
chuckle each time I read this group.

As it is French word - dbris - the correct pronunciation is day-bree
and that's the way I've always said it. But then I'm middle-class :-P

Fair point, but there are quite a lot of French words in the English
language which we say differently...

Nick (the lower class pom scum) Govier
(and yes, that is a French surname)
