I've always been curious if I'm saying it properly.

Liquid crackers? Are you sure? 
Thanks! That was a clever way to help understand the pronunciation! I definitely have been saying it incorrectly.

@gavin Yes, very clever AND quite correct! 😀 😎
...and while we're at it, "Brougham" rhymes with "chrome," not "bro-ham." For decades, I've been correcting folks on this one. 🙄
BTW Marty, I assume you'll be getting at least one of these resin STAMP '62 SDVs to compliment your spectacular '62 BeerRitz? 🤔 🤨

Are those Sedan DeVilles gorgeous, or what? I must say, I am tempted!
The Brougham pronunciation eludes most of us. And I am afraid to say, you too, my friend. It's a two-syllable word.

@marty-johnson Sorry but that A.I. speaker is wacked! 😐 🤨 It will always be "Brome" to me! 😎 😀
....but yes, even on-line dictionary pronunciations/spellings show it as: brough-am

It seems both may be used: Oxford English Dictionary 1964. The reference to Lord Brougham (19 September 1778 – 7 May 1868) is interesting ....
