I had to put this in the Shed because I know you guys won't keep this clean. Animals.
In this thread we will helpfully learn each other how to decipher and pronounce those odd names people come up with. I mean, how the hell do you pronounce "knapplc?" It doesn't just roll off the tongue.
So here's a helpful and handy guide on how to pronounce some of those trickier names. YOU'RE WELCOME.
ZRod. Most folks probably say it "ZEE-rod" in their heads, but it's actually pronounced like "fraud" but with a Z.
Moiraine. You think it's MWA-rain, but it's really muh-RYE-an-ee, like Hermione from Harry Potter.
Making Chimichangas. It's not chimi-CHONG-as, it's chimi-CHANG-as, like Michael Chang.
commando. One of the M's is silent. I won't tell you which one.
RedDenver. It's not Red Denver, because the D's are pronounced together, like reh-DEN-ver.
Stumpy1. The 1 is written in Spanish. It's pronounced StumpyUno.
Mavric. It's not Maverick like Top Gun. It's is in honor of his grandma Vric, whom he called "Ma" when he was little. He just forgot to capitalize the V.
saunders. It's a gambling reference about his favorite hoops team, San Antonio. He always bets the unders.
StPaulHusker. It's actually pronounced "Krzyzewski."
B. B. Hemingway. You pronounce the periods, but it's all one word. BEEdotBEEdot Hemingway.
Redux. Rhymes with Reduce.
dudeguyy. You have to hit both Y's, hard. dudguyEEEE.
QMany. Like when you put too much spice in your taco meat and it's too cuminy.
lo country. It's not "low" country, it's a funny way to say "hello," as in, 'ello! He's basically saying hi from the country or to the country. Or something.
NM11046. This name is unpronouncable in any language. You just skip over it without saying it in your head.
Dewiz. Read it with a Finnish accent and it makes sense.
Kiyoat Husker. It's an anagram for Hi Turkey Oaks. I don't get it either.
Brophog. It's written backwards. He's a Minnesota Gopher fan. Probably drunk when he entered his name like all Minnesotites.
seaofred92. Fred Seao graduated in 1992. Duh.
Atbone95. Eighty Bone 95. His older brother, Brendan Zahl, was a Blackshirt in 1995. He wore number 80. Look it up.
