      No… Not at all. “gae” Vs “gahgged”. Gay has a hard A, gagged had a soft A. Plus gagged had a ‘gg’ sound in the middle, and also a D sound at the end. Actually, the only thing they have in common is starting with a G.

      Do they sound the same to you?

        I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it like that. Everyone I know says “gaygged”. Must be a regional thing or something.
