I'll assume your misspelling of "about" was a typo. It makes you sound like an American hillbilly though.
They seem to think that if you don't pronounce "about" as "a-bay-owt" that you're talking about footwear.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1egScqWtlYLOL I could never understand why they seem to fixate on "about" and not on other "-out" words.
They never talk about us going "oot" far a walk, having a summer "droot" or enjoying a nice cold Guinness "stoot".
Isn't that the Scottish pronunciation?

Heh... I finally made Jiimbo crack
