Is it Fore Head or is Forrid?

Or something else.

Fore Head = normal

Forrid = posh or regional accent

Funnily enough, I've been thinking about this recently as I keep hearing it pronounced four-head. It sounds very strange to me as well as being a nonsensical pronunciation.

Perhaps one of the weirdos who says 'four-head' could explain how this rhyme would make sense

There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

She was very, very good,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Edited the penultimate line.

My maths teacher said that rhyme was written for me!!

Forrid/forred announcers probably also exclaim 'tuth' instead of 'tooth'.
Don't forget Keenya and Cuventry...

My Mum talks posh so I know these things... :)

Keenya was correct until they got independence. Jomo Kenyatta was the first president and the pronunciation was changed to Ken ya, from his name.

How is it nonsensical? It seems it's the original pronunciation.

That was written by someone who wanted to make use of the 'forrid' pronunciation.
