I prefer the one-syllable pronunciation, "uht". Rhymes with BUTT.

And all this time I've been saying Lumb Erjim.

My full name (HLJ = HungLikeJesus) is pronounced Hung Like Hay-zeus, for the alliteration.

If you could go ahead and, uh, post on Sunday...that'd be great.

I really need rkzenrage to post here and let us know which is the correct pronunciation.

Now this might sound silly up front, but bear with me. I currently just think of xoxoxoBruce as, well, Bruce. However, for a short while after slipping into the Cellar I had an association building with his name, similar to the way Flint has a lock on something once he "hears" it a certain way. For some ridiculous reason I had tried to pronounce Bruce's whole username and came up with something along the lines of zo-zo-zo-Bruce. This made me think of Jimmy Page's symbol from the fourth Zeppelin album. In all honesty, I wonder if anyone else has ever tied Bruce to Zoso.

I would just like to commend everyone in this thread for being adults, and not going for this cheap, obvious joke.

I think of xoxoxoBruce as "hugs and kisses Bruce," whatever that means. (or sometimes as XOB = sob)

that is what I thought, but since I want neither from him, so just Bruce.

DanaC · 07-23-2007, 05:50 PM

I always pronounce it 'Bruce' but I also get a mental image of Oxo gravy cubes.

I found a new way for Labrat to say her name:

La(57)Br(35)At(85)

Ahhhh, after a little hint, I get it now

blue- curr-aaw-ko. (totally wrong huh?)
Completely blundered on the rich thing too. I thought Lee- vie.
And finally- Rk'z- en-rage.(still completely unsure)

Hopefully everyone knows cicero, I say siss-er-o.....And even I pronounce it wrong.
It's really pronounced Chik-er-O. It means doo-doo. (cow) Which is why he was advised to change his name before his stint in politics......

Shawnee123 · 07-26-2007, 04:17 PM

The liquer is pronounced "cure-a-sow" or something like that, though most say curr AH ko.

Yup, it's 'cure-a-sow.' No tilde though, just a cedilla on the c...though I thought Curaçao was a Dutch word. Not sure how a cedilla got in there.
