The "J" sound is in the first syllable, not the second.

Indeed, but my dialect says otherwise.

Actually, I think it's from "A Christmas Story".

I'm 100% sure it was from the rug rats. I think it was when the Carmine's (Or Carmichaels?) moved in (or out was it?). As you can see, my memory isn't good with the name, but I am 100 % sure it was from rug rats. The guy tries to read fragile, and pronounces it fra-geel-ey, and drops the box with glass in it.

LOL.. Indeed. But... It's from "A Christmas Story".

Not sure if that was the first movie that had the joke in it, but I'm pretty sure it dates Rug Rats.

Hrmmm. I dunno. All I know is I heard it in Rug Rats, and it is one of the few things that has stuck in my head for that long of a time.

Yeah. I just mean.. the movie "A Christmas Story" has a similar scene(when he gets the hideous leg-lamp that he won), and the movie is older than RR, and pretty damn well known, so.. ya know.. lol

I'm sure it's a classic comic scene thats been used in quite a few things.

I never saw "A Christmas Story" or if I did I don't remember .

One of the funniest movies evar!

BTW- for those that want to relive part of the movie: Leglamp.com

hey wait, why are you (edit: for clarification, by "you" I mean "crazymofo") arguing with a 13-year-old? screw (edit: used under the connotation of "ignore") him!

I'm 17, thank you very much. I doubt there is one person here, who if Rug Rats was on TV when they were younger, didn't watch it.

Amorphus, meet Michael Jackson. I think you two will have a lot in common.

What was that about? It had no relevance to what I said at all.

Ahh, he changed what it originally said (it didn't mention said 13 year old before). Sorry for the confusion.

In all seriousness, I pronounce it something like this: frA'-gil (using whatever notation you used).

HaH, I think the direct quote was "Hey Frank, what's fra-geel-ay mean?"
