How Do You Pronounce Your Username?

[MiesVanDerMom]

I'm really lost on a lot of these.

I'll go first:

mies is pronounced "meez"

van der mom i think is self-explanatory

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always assumed your username was a take off of the famous architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe?

Anyway, mine is intended as "Luke."

 

[Robizzle]

robizzle: roabazzlee

 

[Looque]

robizzle: roabazzlee

...what?

This is in reference to that certain someone who PM'ed me saying I am holier than thou and can't laugh at myself.

 

[chaeymaey]

cha-ee maw-ee, but you have to say it fast, like "fancy shmancy"

[VPDcurt]

Vee Pee Dee curt

 

[XildUpNawth]

Ex-eyeld Up Nawth

(Using nasal Boston accent--channel Mayor Quimby.)

 

[DropkickMurphy]

channel Mayor Quimby

Or just a decent Jack Kennedy impersonator.....same thing really.

 

[shantster]

Shantster -> The "an" is pronounced like on, NOT an.

 

[farikanok]

farikanok

far-eekah-nok
last part (nok) pronounced like "nor" except with a k

 

[SoupWithAFork]

Soup With A Fork.

That is all.

 

[burntfries]

another good question would be to ask about the origin of everyone's usernames...i wonder sometimes

That's difficult to imagine.

I'd still go with tih-nay-shus. Maybe it's a Missouri thing.

same here.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Dr-Acula => DRACULA!

 

[Looque]

same here.

Are you originally from Missouri?

Because, really, all the cool people are born here.

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

ho-ta ho-ta

 

[Haemulon]

Haemulon: some debate about this. But the technically correct way to pronounce it is "Heem-you-lawn" (Latin, go figure). Some say "Haim-you-lawn", and thats ok. I like it with the long E though.

 

[Johnny_one_eye]

JAHN-ee WON eye

And for the person curoius about the origin, it was a nickname my grandpa gave me when I was very young because i seem to squint with one eye in the sun, even if it's barely sunny outside at all. It's not something dirty (as many have implied before...)

 

[Zoom-Zoom]

another good question would be to ask about the origin of everyone's usernames...i wonder sometimes

There's a few of these floating around. Last one was a couple months ago...


Screen name . . . where'd you get it?

 

[2badr]

too-bee a doctor, hence I became known as tubee back in the early days. *sigh* ahh, the good ol' days.

Oh, and I'm a girl.

Nope, born in England, raised in TX. But I do like how Missourians have to "show me." And that y'all say, "draw me a pitcha."

 

[jackieMD2007]

Couldn't agree more.

 

[Dr.D-man]

[MiesVanDerMom]

EDIT: should be pronounced= i-am-a-loooozzzzerrrr"

 

[Looque]

*ahem*

Dr. D has this problem where the truth is impulsively spewed out. You can't blame Durden for admitting the true origin of all cool people.
