Liggett pronounces both ways.
So I guess it depends on the weather.

every Scot i knew with the same last name, used the pronunciation as the beer.

by the way that effort today was epic. You know you wanted him to win... even if only by one second.

better question is how to pronounce Tyler Farrar's last name, I'm hearing "farrar" and "farra"

botto 07-10-09 07:20 AM

they were talking about this the other day on belgian tv.

apparently the pronunciation is very similar to farrah, as in farrah fawcett.

ri_us 07-10-09 08:07 AM

I know him personally. Just like the beer.

Just like it is spelled. F-O-C-K-E-R

I pronounce it miller.

As far as farrar. i say fa-rar. Like ferarri without the "e" sound at the end.

dmotoguy 07-10-09 09:53 AM

being a fellow Farrar myself, ive given up telling people which way to pronounce it. some say "fair-er" but most say "Fa-RAWR" so I usually just go with that although it comes from "ferrier" so I think "fair-er" is closer to the real thing.


also, (sadly) no relation to Tyler

It tasted like ass (at least I can only assume that ass tastes like that). A google search taught me that it's made by Anheiser-Busch.

Crap.

Well, it seems like the consensus is Miller. I guess I lose the bet with my gf. That said, we did call a friend last night whose last name is Millar, and he says his family pronounces it Mill-ar, but everyone else says Miller.

Liggett pronounces it "from the American squad Garmin-Slipstream".

Is a ferrier like a farrier?

+1, plus I love those commercials where the dude takes the High Life away from folks who aren't worthy.
