so not only can they not pronounce "r"s, they can't pronounce "s" as well?

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

― should probably be practising shorthand (country matters), Sunday, 27 September 2009 22:54 (fifteen years ago)

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

― katherine helmand province (jaymc), Monday, 28 September 2009 03:12 (fifteen years ago)

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.

― Dearth Disco (Trayce), Monday, 28 September 2009 03:20 (fifteen years ago)

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

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

― somewhere a poll is missing its wacky write-in vote (sarahel), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:10 (fifteen years ago)

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

― steamed hams (harbl), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:12 (fifteen years ago)

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

― katherine helmand province (jaymc), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:12 (fifteen years ago)

i'm not sure which way that goes

― steamed hams (harbl), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:13 (fifteen years ago)

yeah that was confusing but sara hell otm

― wH1N1 g. swinegarten (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:18 (fifteen years ago)

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 (fifteen years ago)

you don't go from saying "juicebox" to "jewsbox"

― rather shipped (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:23 (fifteen years ago)

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 (fifteen years ago)

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 (fifteen years ago)

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 (fifteen years ago)

but i never said pronounce the hoos- in hoosteen like "juice."

― steamed hams (harbl), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:26 (fifteen years ago)

i'm just saying it's like a different word to me

― steamed hams (harbl), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:27 (fifteen years ago)

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 (fifteen years ago)

I thought y'all knew it was short for Hoosteen (as in Justin) so I'ma assume some of you are retarded imo.

i'm sure the jewsteens can make that happen

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 (fifteen years ago)

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.

― katherine helmand province (jaymc), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:46 (fifteen years ago)

^^ yep.

― somewhere a poll is missing its wacky write-in vote (sarahel), Wednesday, 30 September 2009 23:47 (fifteen years ago)

― alex b. skeaton (tremendoid), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:02 (fifteen years ago)

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

― rather shipped (J0rdan S.), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:02 (fifteen years ago)

that's still hoos like jews! ?

― alex b. skeaton (tremendoid), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:03 (fifteen years ago)

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

― alex b. skeaton (tremendoid), Thursday, 1 October 2009 00:04 (fifteen years ago)

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 (fifteen years ago)
