you're both wrong. It's beng-guls

Ben is different from Bin and Bang but then I've noticed southerners think pin and pen sound the same. They don't.


My pronunciation is Bing-als.....not Bin-gals. Same as you.

That's not the same thing at all. One is having fun with Acadian/ Creole ethnic last name spellings that are unique to the area, the other is insisting that a tiger breed is pronounced like a bracelet.

He pronounces it “bangles”. Drives me crazy. The correct way to say it is obviously “bingles”.




Bayou Bengals would be more of a "bang" and then "ulls."

Cincinnati Bengals would be more of a "bing" and then "ulls."
