»glottal stop In Phonetics, this is a momentary stoppage of the airstream, caused by closing the glottis. When those with Brooklyn and Cockney accents pronounce "bottle" as bah-ul, they are using the glottal stop. There's a cute little irony here – those who use the glottal stop can't even pronounce it correctly. They say "glah-ul stop". I wonder if the people who named the glottal stop did this on purpose, the scamps.« A.J.Jacobs, The Know-it-all. Ein Mann erzählt von seiner Lektüre der Encyclopaedia Britannica. Sehr lustiges Buch.
