Working in Woolloomooloo, I am contunally asked to spell it to people when giving them out address. Often, I deal with idiots who still laugh at the word "Woolloomooloo", and I have to spell it several times, even though they've lived in Sydney for all their lives.


If I'm taking to someone I don't like, I'll sometimes give my suburb as "East Sydney", as the postcode is the same, the street I'm in goes through both suburbs, and I never need to spell it.


Woolloomooloo is one of the most fun words to pronounce (yell it out a window some random night). Here's how to do it in a local accent:


Wul-schwa-mschwa-loo.


A better description:


Wooluh (like a sheep's fleece)

muh

loo

WOOLOOMOOLOOMOOLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!!!
