How Do You Spell WAST LOFTY?
Pronunciation: [wɒst lˈɒfti] (IPA) 
The spelling of the phrase "wast lofty" may seem confusing, but it follows the rules of Old English pronunciation. The word "wast" was pronounced as /wɑːst/ with a long "a" sound, and the "s" at the end was pronounced as a voiced "z". "Lofty", on the other hand, was pronounced as /ˈlɒfti/ with a short "o" sound and a "t" sound at the end. Together, "wast lofty" was pronounced as /wɑːst ˈlɒfti/, meaning "you were proud and arrogant" in Old English.
