how do u say a HOOS

mr. queue

also hoos rhymes with jews

when I'm feeling particularly randy, I say "mr. what"

um I just realized I've been using randy inappropriately for the past several years. To anyone I may have confused or offended, I have always meant "goofy"!

what a disaster for randy!

elephant in the room: 'mister ker'

i actually hear it as 'mister kway' which is probably wrong on several levels but oi who's keeping score

ok tbqh i sometimes read "queue" as "kwayway" in my head because no one says queue out loud except if you're talking about programming maybe

I did not think that this thread had potential to be a classic US vs. UK pronunciation thread, but ...

oh oops! i'm sorry.

my college common-room was festooned with shouts of 'queue!' every single goddamn day we were there...it was out scrupulously fair way of nominating pool table challengers

elephant in the room: 'mister ker'

Just reminded myself of one of my personal favourite ILX threads, hoos international

mr. que

i pronounce it "cue" but people are free to do as they wish

― Mr. Que

IN YOUR FACE NED RAGGETT I WIN

I still don't understand the "ker" thing

like mr. qü

Mr. Qüeensryche?

Husker Qü?

Que-ee Que-ee we gotta go now?

I say it like in the KBP reference.

i pronounce it "cue" but people are free to do as they wish

― Mr. Que

I always assumed this was the case, since "Mr. Que" is based on the fact that his wife posts as "quincie."

Ive always said "kew" as well. And saying Louis' name properly. And HOOS is short for HOOSTEEN so that one should be obvious!

Does anyone mispron my name as "tracy"? I hope not.

I have always thought of it as Mr. Cue and Hoos rhymes with juice. Louis will never be louie to me - sorry.

Complaints complaints.

See, whereas "lewis" sounds really odd to me. xpost

i don't know where to put this so i'm putting it here

http://i36.tinypic.com/35alixc.jpg

Hoos like Jews
Mr. Que like Mr. Kay (until p3t3 sm1th illuminated me.)
Louis has always been Louis to me tbh.
Sarahel like Sara Hell.

otm x4

I pronounce them all mar-EEZ-sa, saves time & effort

hahahaa.

how about bamcquern?

just bam because it's easier but I guess bam.c.qwern?

Hooze.

hooze
mr. cue, but probably only because i know the q is short for quincie
lewis
sara hell

Staggered by all these "lewis"es. Is it a common US pronunciation of Louis?

I mean Lewis is Lewis. Louis is Lou-ee. Its French ffs.

yes

HOOWIS

it's actually sarah-el, the "h" is silent, but i'd rather people think of it as sara-hell than make Superman jokes

HOOEY

doh xpo

mr. cue despite the fact that i am mexican
lewis and i will never get over my initial shock at the youtube video where he was referred to as "louie"
sara hell seems real obv to me?

and for some reason the c in bamcquern always becomes an ampersand in my head so i read it as "bam 'n kern"

bamcquern = bee ay mcquern, like B.A. Barracus in the A-Team

i'm sure the jewsteens can make that happen

it would be a pretty stupid thing to sb someone over

didn't stop me!

lmao @ all of u

fwiw sarge has received voice mails from me declaring myself "u man HOOS" so he knows tmnt2 the secret of the hoos

yeah but since "hoos" is derived completely from "hoosteen" it would make sense that one would pronounce "hoos" in the same manner that they would pronounce "hoosteen"

But what I'm saying is that you don't ever pronounce "hoos" as a discrete syllable in "hoosteen." Or at least I don't: I say it "hoo-steen." Which makes neither "hooze" nor "hooce" ideal; to be honest, I think I imagine the "s" as being vocalized only slightly.

^^ yep.

yes i also think of it as hoo-steen, not hoos-teen

Who's teen?

ice crime

need to know how tf you people pronounce 'juice' that has anything to do with 'justin' (this just in)

oh wait aussie never mind lol

it's pronouncing "justin" as if it were a spanish word

that's still hoos like jews! ?

just to get this straight: you pronounce it like you would pronounce 'Houston' the only difference being the 'een' instead of 'on' ('un')?

i mean i know i'm arguing with homedude whose name it is but this is nyoos to me

nah - "hoo-steen" not "hyoo-steen"

hyoo-steen we have a problem

oh ok, so...the first option...right?

i think i needed a better analogue than 'jews' - maybe 'whose'

Triple Fat Hoos

yeah i think i'm the one bugging out i guess i can conceive of the proposed pronunciations being the exact opposite of what i think they are, which doesn't help but uh i'll stop bugging out now

HOO steen

Didn't gain awareness of this poll until after the cutoff but 46 people are so RONG as to lead me to believe they are Franco-supporting fascists, tbh.

You are either with the hoooozzz or you are with the terrorists.

I agree with poster upthread who said their vote for "jews " would be better represented as a"whose".

You are either with the hoooozzz or you are with the terrorists

there was no option for 'hooz'.

terrorist.

it's a fair cop.

(Cf. HOOS).
