pronunciation
I've met a couple of people lately who pronounce strop differently that I do. I was wondering how other people pronounce it and if I am correct or not.
I say: strawp or strahp - sounds like stop
Others say: stroop - sounds like poop
Who is right?

Hello, dnjrboy:
The correct pronunciation is "strop" as in "d-(rop)."
Regards,

when I say strop it rhymes with pop.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
