I know how to pronounce Cairo, Cuba and New Madrid. Gravois Road is “gravoy”. I am wondering how they pronounce Bois d’arc, MO. I am guessing it is “boys dark”. Anyone know?

The “bugler” climbed over the gate after the old man told him not to.

He’d have been assaulted for sure if he weren’t armed. At 92, even a simple punch in the face could be fatal.

Locals pronounce Dois d'arc as Bodark.

The Bo is like Bow & Arrow, not like Boo to scare someone. Dark as in the dark, no light.
