Fern Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Nag...like you're wife's a nag...and Champa...like the boxer was a champ...but add an "a" to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StvNicksFan Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I've heard Nag Champa pronounced in two ways. First, 'Nog Shompa.' And second, 'Nog ChompRuh' Even Stevie Nicks has refered to it as Nag Champra in a song of her's before (I feel like a geek now!) But, I guess it's different for every one Illume (9-11) by Fleetwood Mac"Illume, says the candle I burn, a reflection in the window all way to point doom......I'm alone now, with my thoughts, how we couldn't make it, how we couldn't get out, what we've been through, all of the trauma, smell of Nag Champa, shadow of a stranger"James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candle Man Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Here is what I found on Patchouli @ http://www.answers.com/topic/patchoulipatch·ou·li also patch·ou·ly (pə-chū'lē, păch'ʊ-lē) n., pl. -lis also -lies. A small southeast Asian shrub (Pogostemon cablin) in the mint family, having leaves that yield a fragrant oil used in the manufacture of perfumes. A perfume made from the oil of this plant.

tlc26 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Nag champa is said nag (like your wife is a nag) chomp ( like the dog is chomping on his bone) a atleast that is the only way I have ever heard it! never heard it as nag champ(boxer champ) a This could depend on your region too!

Scented Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 This could depend on your region too! I would think!Quite true. I've never really known the correct pronunciation for nag (thus saying nag works for me lol!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
