While Gov. Ron DeSantis cruises to re-election in Florida, the press is doing its best to make his race against Charlie Crist somewhat competitive. They tried their hardest after Hurricane Ian hit, but DeSantis’ extreme competence quickly took that story off the front pages.
But alas a fresh hit piece has dropped, and it may be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen printed by a supposed news outlet. According to the Financial Times, DeSantis once used the phrase “thigh food” while in college in place of “Thai food.”
I know, it’s horrific stuff. It even elicited a “yikes” from ProPublica’s Alec MacGillis. [Tweet]
Imagine being a supposedly serious journalist

Seriously, if they don't want it pronounced that way, they should take out the ''h''.

He only graduated magna cum Laude from Yale while being a star baseball player, then cum Laude from Harvard Law….what a dummy…can’t compare to Biden at the bottom of his class at Syracuse Law( should have been expelled for plagiarism)

The people that actually Vote know better. We have a great Candidate and he will win another term as Governor. It's sad that a News outlet actually prints such stuff! Makes them look like the Tiny News Outlet in a Pond of Big Fish!

Any better examples of demonrat desperation lately?
Sounds to me like he was joking with the pronunciation. Hubby and I do that all the time, especially with words which are derived from the French language. We pronounce the word “cafe” as “kayfe” with a silent “e” at the end.

ya I'm a Texican, I have made the Thighfood joke, and sometimes I will order "Beef en-chill-uh-dus, extra tor-tilaz, and japo-leenos. If my "date" scowls and corrects me I too look for an exit, not because I don't like "Being corrected by a woman" but because I have no interest in anyone without a sense of humor. A rolled eye groan at lame puns, dad jokes, and em-fas-is upon discordant si-LA-bels is expected, that is the whole object. A haughty, serious, lecture, pedantically delivered, is a sure sign of incompatibility.(I make up for my intentional mangling of the spanglish language to the restaurant staff by making specific song requests to the Mariachi's...well known south of the border traditional standards, not the eye yi yi yi/La bamba crap...if the woman is nice "Malaquena Salarosa", if she is extraordinary "La llorona"

Year and years ago when I worried about this, I knew I, like all my female relatives, had heavy thighs. I had lost some weight and I was happy to venture out to buy some relatively short shorts. My sales girl was an immigrant from Thailand and kept talking about "ties." I finally figured out she was complimenting my thighs. Apparently, Thais consider plump thighs attractive and she wished she had mine.
I am obviously living in the wrong country with my heavy "ties", and the whole county of Thailand mispronounces the English word "thigh" making up for DeSantis' mistake.

#1, they are pronouncing the "t" and the "h" as separate letters, as the Germans do.
And I don't think the problem is with the Thais; they have their own alphabet lot of swirly letters.
