How do you pronounce Toot's?

[Dupontster]

The present name is after Toots Hayden who ran it for years. My Grandfather actually built the building and ran it for years under the name "Wallace's Bar". I have pictures with the name on the side of the building. (Please don't ask me to find them right now)

since the question was how to pronounce it --- Ive heard it said 2 ways- toots- one syllable -sounds like boots.
then Ive heard it said the county way ( I guess Id call it) Toots-iz - 2 syllables. Figured that was some marble mouth silliness. Like when ppl say "Thats mine's car" Mines isnt a word and when you add possessive or pluralize a word it doesnt add a syllable- unless you dont have a great grasp on spoken English of course.

The guy's name was Toots the S is part of the name so when people call it Toots's they are really just using the possessive and saying they are going to his bar. This comes from a time when Toots still owned the bar and other people herd it pronounced like that and assumed the possessive was the correct pronunciation. Of course I could be wrong, I barely passed my English courses when I was a kid.

The 'like' button was good for lazy ppl such as myself. Good explanation - makes sense when you put it that way.
