How to pronounce "bridle"?
After using it for many years it came to my mind recently, that I don´t know at all how to pronounce it properly. Do you say [braidl] or [bridl]?

...and pointing to the bridle he asked, "and what do you call that, little girl?"
"oh, it's the belt, or the bridle, or whatever you please, sir."
