say "hoosten" out loud - it's basically impossible to say it as "hews-steen"

"hoosteen" obv

yeah, but we're not saying "hoosteen" we're saying "Hoos"

oh yeah i would pronounce the hoos in hoosteen differently than just hoos. so i voted jews.

i'm not sure which way that goes

yeah that was confusing but sara hell otm
― wH1N1 g. swinegarten (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:18 (fourteen years ago) link
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"
― rather shipped (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:23 (fourteen years ago) link
you don't go from saying "juicebox" to "jewsbox"
yeah but it's not hoos, it's HOOS
― somewhere a poll is missing its wacky write-in vote (sarahel), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link
alright whatever - i can take solace in the fact that i'm not going around pronouncing HOOS wrong!! that would be mightily embarrassing imo
― rather shipped (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:25 (fourteen years ago) link
only defending the honor of "hoos" could drag me into one of these asinine pronunciation threads
― rather shipped (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:26 (fourteen years ago) link
but i never said pronounce the hoos- in hoosteen like "juice."
― steamed hams (harbl), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:26 (fourteen years ago) link
i'm just saying it's like a different word to me

there needs to be a new invite only board for pronunciation threads and i would like to not be invited
― rather shipped (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:27 (fourteen years ago) link
I thought y'all knew it was short for Hoosteen (as in Justin) so I'ma assume some of you are retarded imo.

xp - you could always accrue a few more suggest bans and not have to worry about ilx pronunciation threads at all

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
― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:37 (fourteen years ago) link
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.
― somewhere a poll is missing its wacky write-in vote (sarahel), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:47 (fourteen years ago) link

oh wait aussie never mind lol
― alex b. skeaton (tremendoid), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:02 (fourteen years ago) link
it's pronouncing "justin" as if it were a spanish word
― rather shipped (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:02 (fourteen years ago) link
that's still hoos like jews! ?
― alex b. skeaton (tremendoid), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:03 (fourteen years ago) link
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
― alex b. skeaton (tremendoid), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:05 (fourteen years ago) link
nah - "hoo-steen" not "hyoo-steen"
― rather shipped (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:06 (fourteen years ago) link
hyoo-steen we have a problem

oh ok, so...the first option...right?
― alex b. skeaton (tremendoid), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:07 (fourteen years ago) link
i think i needed a better analogue than 'jews' - maybe 'whose'

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

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.
― ENERGY FOOD (en i see kay), Thursday, 1 October 2009 09:57 (fourteen years ago) link
I agree with poster upthread who said their vote for "jews " would be better represented as a"whose".
