It's funny because "Roof" can also be understood as the onomatopoetic representation of a dog's barking.

[–]ExplainingJokes 8 points9 points ago*

It's funny because it is another dog reference, telling me I am doing it wrong. I think you are implying that explaining a joke takes away its very essence of humor. It's funny because that's what this novelty account is for. [edit: Oh my god... I used "its" instead of "it's". Dear Grammar Lord, please forgive me.]

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points ago*

It's funny because jokes are generally left to the listener to work out the meaning at their own discretion and not have its implication explained.

[–]koviko 1 point2 points ago

It's funny because the quotation mark in front of "its" makes my mind read the word "tits."

No, good sir, I strongly disagree with this statement. The use of that word in no way contributed to the humour of my post

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago*

It's means "it is". "It is funny --" Is a perfectly reasonable thing to say. Oh, I realized that I used it incorrectly near the end of my sentence. You win this round, yoho.

It's is a contraction of it and is.

Its is a possessive pronoun.

[–]the_scorpion_stings -2 points-1 points ago*

All are different conjugations of the verb "to be".

No convoluted corrections are needed, I am not Baffled sir.

[–]yoho139 0 points1 point ago

That's right. I was referring to the second "it's", which is incorrectly used.

only in the US. In Canada Roof rhymes with spoof, goof, poof, etc.

Sorry for my lack of quality rhyming words...

[–]LegendOfHurleysGold 8 points9 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Not just in Canada. It differs regionally here in the U.S. too. I'm in Atlanta and I've never heard anyone say "ruff." As the son of a roofing contractor, I've heard the word quite a bit and have only heard "ruff" on television and in films. I've always heard roof (rhymes with spoof) spoken.

[–]GeneralWarts 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm confused.. I'm in Wisconsin and I agree that Roof rhymes with these words. That being said, it is still the thing the dog says.

He woofs too.

[–]katarr 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I'm a Frenchman living in Tennessee and I also agree with this rhyming scheme.

[–]mbinder 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Roof also rhymes with spoof, goof, poof, etc in the US. It just sounds like a dog barking anyway (Roooof rooof)

[–]L0ngp1nk 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As a (Canadian) kid I always heard that Ruff/Roof joke and never got it.

[–]501337 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I say roof as it rhymes with spoof and I'm in the US. It actually irritates me when I hear "ruff" and "crick" for creek. I have a friend in Kansas who uses "ruff" and "crick." Most southern accents irritate me, as well. I know it's extremely superficial, but even if the person is wickedly intelligent a southern or backwoods accent initially appears ignorant to me.

[–]DZ302 0 points1 point ago

I can't imagine a doctor or physicist speaking with a southern accent.

In all fairness, mine was a rescue, and we are the 5th owners (got him at 1.5 years). So it may not be too bad for you.

Just out of curiosity how much does your's weigh at 4+yrs?

[–]meekus1212 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He's 86 lbs. But I know males can be 95+. I would definitely invest in a good harness!

[–]tgog33 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

My male is 80lbs at 8 months.

How much did yours weigh at the time you got him (1.5yrs)?

[–]meekus1212 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

He was about 35 lbs under weight, but we got him up to 85 lbs within 2-3 months. He's not purebred, so there could be weight differences.

As a Canadian, it took a second for me to get it. Crazy Americans and your pronunciation...

[–]userfriendlyyy 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's only pronounced that way in the mid west. The coasts say it roo-f as in proof.

[–]mason55 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think it's a class thing as well. I'm from Ohio and only certain groups of people pronounced it "ruf".

[–]baberg 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

As another Ohioan, those people also pronounce:

  • creek as "crik"
  • wash as "warsh"
  • garage as "grudge"

I hate them all. But then again I hate most people.

The story goes that a guy leading a dog on a leash walked into a talent agent's office and said, "This dog here can talk! Lemme show ya. Hey, Rocko, what is sandpaper like?"

The dog barked, "Ruff!"

"What do you put on top of a house?"

"Roof!"

"Who's the greatest ball-player of all time?"

"Ruth!"

The talent agent threw a pencil at the guy and said, "Get outta here and take your phony-baloney talking dog with you."

Once they were back out on the sidewalk, the man slumped down on a bench, and the dog said, "I probably shoulda said DiMaggio."
