Transcript:
Goat: I'm loving this book on the British monarchy. This chapter's on the kings and queens that were Tudors. Pig: They sound nice. Goat: Why do you say that? Pig: They help you with algebra. Goat: Tudors. Not tutors. Rat: Stop. Before his brain explodes. Pig: Ohhh, tooters. Like horn blowers.

I fell for the whole “Tudor” thing too. (Yes, I’m American.) according to the dictionary, a Tudor is an adjective, meaning related to the British Dynasty.

too bad, the british monarchy is a inbred. Not much of difference between the royal family and inbred hillbilly clan.

Three different pronunciations where I live:
Tudors: “Tyoo-duhz”Tutors: “tyoo-tuhz”Tooters: “too-tuhz”
A little further south, people pronounce the r in the second syllable of all three words.
