What's the pronunciation of nouveaux riches? --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:05, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

- @Equinox: Doesn't this apply then, as in beaux? why the exception? https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/-x#French --Backinstadiums (talk) 18:25, 29 December 2019 (UTC)
- Some people might pronounce it differently. "Nouveau riche" is a long phrase that is clearly French. "Beau" is a short word that is less obviously borrowed (hence the corruption boo for example). Equinox ◑ 02:21, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
