Parler CEO George Farmer, good ol’ boy, noted British person, and husband to conservative influencer Candace Owens (pictured with Kanye in matching “White Lives Matter” shirts), opened an email last year by pointing out that really, everyone is saying the name of his godforsaken platform wrong. But he’s totally cool with it. It’s “par-LEY,” not “par-LUR,” but no, really, it’s fine.

It’s impossible to say why the original pronunciation didn’t catch on among American conservatives. It must have been because the coastal elites in Washington don’t want you to know that you’re SUPPOSED to say it like the fancy French, “freedom fries” be damned.
