How do YOU pronounce 'MPSIMS' ?

I have always pronounced it:

‘em-pee’ - ‘SIMS’

Yourselves?

Mip-sims.

But we military types are quite adroit at pronouncing acronyms.

that’s affirmative Chief, mip-sims is how i’ve been pronouncing it as well.

Yep , add me to that group.

Which syllable do you accent? I accent the first one, so it rhymes with gypsum.

Correct, Sir Cool.

Add me to the mip-sims people.

I’m in the m-p-sims crowd.

Ye Gods! Perhaps we need a new forum for those really trivial threads, like this one…

Em Pee Sims.

Crap. trying again…

Further discussion is here.

m-p-sims here

Has anyone else noticed that if the title were changed to “Mundane Pointless Stuff I SIMPLY Must Share”, it would then be called “M-P-Sisms”? (Or Mipsisms, if you prefer.) You know, like witticism, or criticism. The very first time I read the title, I thought it should have that extra S word, both for the acronym’s sake and for a more mellifluous forum title.

Or would I be tampering with the sacred here?

mipsims here. IIRC, there was much discussion in Spiffled about this. The “mipsims” crowd won. :slight_smile:

I’m stupid and I always see some of the letters reversed, so I pronounce it like “Miss Pisms.”

Mumpsimus. This has the advantage of being a real (if archaic) word that fits in quite nicely. Look it up (if you have an unabridged-enough dictionary).

Coldfire sagely inquires:

Give that man a cigar!

And I of course know it means, “Mindless Pointless Shit…”

Hmmm…I’ve been using “impysims”–close to “M-P-Sims” but with connotations of impish whimsy.

Thanks, Unc. My Troll-O-Meter went berserk here. I thought it was him. So, why is he still a member?
