Pedo in a meadow flows better in American English where they say ped-oh. The British version doesn't flow as well in this example but is generally superior for shouting at someone. For example, if Trump had been allowed to see the public when visiting the UK you would hear "Fucking peee-doooh!"
Man who tried and failed to imprison his political opponents because he tried staff a critical DOJ role with home owner’s insurance attorney, on a prairie.
I can’t say that I like or agree with English English 100% of the time, but pedo and nonce just feel right and it’s a shame America doesn’t agree.

Wouldn't it have to be peddo not pedo, like a freddo
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 267d
In America, pedo and meadow rhyme. We use a short e in pedo.

The other explanation is right but what's freddo?
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 266d
A chocolate bar with caramel inside on the shape of a frog, it's price often used as a way to contextualise inflation, like how a banana is for scale.
