How do you pronounce pawb? Is the b silent? Is it a meme? (pawb.social)

Since it's just a silly corruption of paw / paws I personally always pronounce the 'b' sound in my head so it's distinct.

Pawbs!

Personally, I pronounce it “POB” because W’s are hard :p

Though, I totally didn’t realize when I chose the domain that Pawb also meant “everybody” in Welch as @match@pawb.social mentioned, but I think it makes it all the better :3

pawb is welsh for "everybody" and it's pronounced /pau̯b/

why, what did you think pawb meant?

I thought it meant "paw" in the UwU dialect of English?
