<p>The "Bow" is pronounced as in "take a bow" or "bow wow wow"; the "doin" is as in "Hey, howya doin'?"</p>

<p>it's actually the "bow" as in "bow and arrow" not "bow" as in "take a bow." or "boe" like "toe," and "din" like a loud noise or as in "dinner"</p>

<p>take that one step further - pronounce it as one or 1-1/2 syllables (can you even pronounce a half a syllable?) - really fast and hardly pronounce the "d", drop the i and emphasize the "n".
bow-dN </p>

<p>If all else fails go to Maine and ask a Mainer.</p>
