Silly Question about Bonine??

[Ethelina]

This is really a silly question but do you say it "Bonine" ( long i like the number 9) or "Bonine(like neen)?? I know its stupid but I have heard it both ways?

Thanks!

I'm personally a "bah-neen" person, but I've heard it both ways as well. They'll know what you're asking for.

 

[pppiglet]

I don't think it's a stupid question, because I've always wanted to know too! I always say "bo nine".

 

[Echo queen]

In Texas I say bo nine.

 

[two-foxes]

I say ba - neen. I figure it is because my sisters name is Janine, and we don't say Ja - nine(9), we say Ja - neen. But, that is just my logic!

 

[TheWog]

We say Bo - neen.

the other way sounds too much like a tumor to us.

I say ba - neen. I figure it is because my sisters name is Janine, and we don't say Ja - nine(9), we say Ja - neen. But, that is just my logic!

This is too funny.

I always say "bo-neen" but only because Dramamine is pronounced "drama-meen" so I figure that's the right way

 

[ChrizJen]

Gosh, I never even thought of it...We say bo-nine(9), and I never really even considered there being another way to say it! LOL
Come to think of it, though, I've never actually heard anyone else say it. I've only seen it on the boards...
Hmmmmm....

"bo 9" sounded too close to "bovine" to me, and because I didn't want to get a drug for cows by mistake, I said "bo-neen".

You guys are too funny! Thanks for my laugh of the day. I never know how to pronounce it either, so I just spell it for everyone. Actually I want to get "bonnie"n out of it myself. I have no idea why. Whatever we call it, I know it works, and that's really what matters.

Having been on Meclizine for another problem...I've always pronounced it /neen/ I guess that's the way it is? Tomato/Tomado

Nah, you pronounce it that way because you're from Cleveland! (It is the right way to say it, after all!!! ) I was born and raised in Lakewood, then I moved out to Bronco country...still love the Browns and still hate the Broncos!!!!

Neen it is.

 

[cass'mom]

Oooh... two-foxes is a west sider... shall we discuss the division between the west side suburbs and the east side suburbs (where I live!)? You must be so hated out in Bronco country!!! You know how much we like them here! Go Brownies! (Our cry every year and forever...)

 

[Ethelina]

Too close to call.....but I think so far the "neen" 's are ahead.......I think I like saying it with a low southern drawl....bo- (9) This has been fun to read!!

Oh my gosh, this thread is hilarious. At our house it's bo-neen.

 

[karylrocks]

Well, I guess I have always thought of it as bo(9), but after reading all the arguments I have been swayed to the "neen" side. Maybe we should post a poll....

 

[Aisling]

I'm a pharmacy school dropout, but I do remember one piece of info, and that is if the chemical ends in "ine", it's pronounced "een". But what about iodine and urine?, I asked my prof. Well, he said we all should be saying iodeen and ureen.

It's Bo-Ten out here in Colorado due to the elevation.

GO YANKEES!

All that I care is that is available for free outside the medical clinic onboard, right?

Can anyone confirm that Bonine is available outside the clinic 24 hours a day if you get there and suddenly decide you are seasick?

Thank you! We are sailing in less than 30 days on our first DCL cruise!
