Another burning issue! Fudgicle???

I have been calling them fudgicles for many years. It drives my husband crazy and the only other people (besides my family) who have heard it called fudgicle up here is my best friend who also grew up in California. Online I find people annoyed with it not being called a fudgsicle.

What do you think?

I think Laverne on Laverne and Shirley called them fudgicles.

Around here everyone calls them fudgsicles.

I call them fudgsicles, but it certainly wouldn't drive me crazy to hear them called fudgicles (and I'd know exactly what you were talking about).

I call them fudgesicles. I would find fudgicles irritating -- like realator or liberry.

Hearing realator is like hearing fingernails on a blackboard. I also dislike hearing axe for ask and birfday for birthday. While the English language/spelling is a little wacky, not one of those three allow for those pronunciations like it could be a regional thing. People are purposefully moving the letters around and adding letters. They are actually putting more effort into their speech.

Where in the world did you get the word "fudgicle"? HAHAHA! I had a friend way back when I was a child that said "breftas" (for breakfast) and "chill grease sandwich" for grilled cheese sandwich. I thought I would scream(or barf) any time she said that! ACK!!!! No matter how much I argued, she didn't believe ME! GIIIII!!!!! My SIL always said birfday, it's a huge family joke now that she's not a SIL anymore...HAHA! My husband says "acrost" and "warsh" and "that away" and misspells the word ridiculous in an annoying "rediculous" way! UGH!

Always heard fudgesicles, with the s.

Not sure why the s would get left out. Do you call popsicles, "popicles", too?

I have always said fudgicle too, not sure why. I guess that's what my Mom called 'em!

My personal pet peeve on mispronounced words is NUCULAR- It's NUCLEAR and I don't care what part of the country you're from - read the letters.

There is a girl in my office who is supposed to be highly educated. She was speaking to a patient on the phone the other day and said, "I dont know.. I havent AXED him about it yet." (Meaning she needed to refer a question to the Dr.) and then went on to say, "Do he bleed alot at night?" She ALWAYS uses DO instead of DOES.
Had I been that patient I would have hung up.

I have always pronounced them fudgsicles, with the "s". When I was in elementary school they always sold fudgsicles and popsicles at recess time for 10 cents.

I think it might be a regional thing.

I even got out the dictionary and showed her and she still argued with me! AACK! After thinking about it years later I suspect that she must have been dyslexic!

Whatever floats your boat, baby. I will say "sammich" for sandwich or "brefas" for breakfast on occasion but not in public or anywhere besides the safety of my own kitchen.

we refer to them as "freezie pops"---you have either the fruit flavored freezie pops or fudge freezie pops.
