Funny lady with gap teeth speaks in video, pronounces Bluetooth
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a funny video of a young Nigerian woman pronouncing the word Bluetooth, as suggested by someone on her social media page, has gone viral with lots of comments and likes.
The lady made several attempts at the word, which sounded strange to the ears because she had extensive gap teeth. Her pronunciation sounded like the passage of air between the gaps in the mouth or the purring of a cat.
After several attempts and rejecting the initial results, she settled for the one she thought was the best she could offer and just went with it as her final answer.
