bean. derived from the french word "carabine" (pronounced cara bean)

A carbine (/'k?rbi?n/ or /'k?rba?n/), from French carabine, is a long arm but with a shorter barrel than a rifle or musket.

I started out as -bine, but after being corrected enough times while playing Halo 2, I switched to -bean.

I have always heard it called car-bean.

If you're european, it's bean, americans should say bine.

it's like people who insist that it's a chateau, not a mansion.

or a schloss, not a castle.

or a loch, not a lake...

fuck all that shit, MURICA!

-bean it is derived from the French words for "dropped only once" and "never been fired"

This has been discussed before. Rictus says "bean".

Despite its etymology, I pronounce it car-bine so as to rhyme the second syllable with "fine."

More beans than no beans... shocker!

Car-bine is sophisticated and elegant, car-bean is unsophisticated and white trash.

People who say "carbine" probably also pronounce other things wrong like "worshington" instead of washington and "ore-gon" and "nevahda" etc

Jesus
I love how people change pronunciations of simp,e words. I can't imagine their motivation.

Carbine as in bean

Well it's been a while since this came up. Used to be a regular though.

I trust Jimmy Stewart on this one.

Does it really matter? It seems like every word that I learned growing up from friends, family, teachers, professors, media, etc are all now suddenly being pronounced different. Its like someone heard it pronounced different on the BBC so everyone must do it that way. Its fraking frustrating.
