:facepalm: I wasn't responding to that stupid .gif in that thread. If you think a fake looking guy's head exploding gets my panties in a bunch, you have NO idea who I am. Who took the gem from your donut lately, guy?

I don't even know what that means. I wasn't really serious about you getting your panties in a bunch since I'm about 47% certain you don't wear them. Maybe 45. Also for the record, I actually don't have any idea who you are, seeing as how we're all semi-anonymous.

"The Habs" is short for Les Habitants. "Les Habitants" refers to the French settlers in Quebec, and is also the nickname (or simply the French name) of the hockey team more well known as the Montreal Canadiens.

In the early 90s, when the Habs won the Stanley Cup, they were backstopped by the goal keeping of a Quebecois named Patrick Roy, one of the best goalies in the game and certainly the best of his time. (Cue Chaz to argue for someone else!). Anyway, as I alluded to, his surname is pronounced as the French word for king, not the common English first name.

And now I've explained something from way back on page 1. I feel silly.

Don't feel too bad about bringing that up again, I was about to, as I've been a huge Avs fan since they moved to Denver, and had to give a shout out to Roy. Definatly the best of his time, although I don't know enough about hockey history to rank him all time.

Anyway, to get somewhat back on topic, if anyone cares about my name - it's the German word for "thief". In German, when you see an "i" and an "e" next to each other, you pronounce the second. So Dieb is pronounced "deeb" such that it rhymes with "dweeb".

If we only pronounced the "e", though, it'd be "deb"... so it's more of a "ie" sounds like "ee" kinda thing, no?

Exactly. Same with the reverse, if you saw something that was ei, like stein (the vessel from which you drink beer) you get the "eye" sound of i like bite, as opposed to the "ih" sound from hit.

So to be more succinct: You get the long vowel sound of the second vowel.

Americans are weird and mispronounce stuff.

ei = "ay" from "ay caramba" but with a different twang, ie = "ee" but slightly shorter in German.

I should think mine is easy to pronounce:
figment (as in "of the imagination")
Pez (like the candy)

What people seem to get wrong is the capitalization and short form. The "f" is lower-case, and it's Pez for short. figmentPez not Fig, not Figgy, not Pigment Fez. I am not a fruit. I am not a type of pudding. I am not a colorful hat.

JCM doesn't like southern accents??!?!
/weeps in her cream of wheat
Ok- if you have been exposed to just one segment of the south, then I can understand it- even southerners don't like what's called a "twangy" accent and you get that in some *cough texasgeorgiaalabama cough* areas, but other southern accents are like warm maple syrup making their slow way across your brain.

My cousins are blessed with such accents- they are both upper crust Virginians- me, I'm a Florida beach bum schlub and while to northerners I have a southern accent or sorts I am sure, I don't have anything really stands out.

oh- and my name- pretty straight forward. LAUR-ruh-lye.
until this thread though, I had been reading Shego's name incorrectly. I had been reading "Shegokio" missed a whole letter in there.

I don't think I need to explain how to pronounce my name since it's fairly common and happened to be mentioned in the podcast...

ppffftt are you kidding going to Thailand to fuck transvestite hookers and romping around the jungle in a yoga leotard speaking three languages at once without showering for a month like JCM does is far more education than a silly little thing like a Ph.D. provides....
