The narrator was clearly emulating America-speech mate, even if the accent was a bit wonky. Smackeroonie is your word, not ours.

Anyway 'seega' still sounds better than 'sayga' which is equally wrong. If you think 'se' is pronounced 'say' then you are 'gey', see what I did there.

>>	Anonymous Sun Dec 13 20:45:16 2020 No.7173482 >>7167445 That is one of the worst packaging for cheese I have ever seen. There's no window to see the product and, setting aside the text, the dark earthy colors and emphasis on farmers would be better suited for fertilizer or insecticide.
