At two Dopefests I’ve heard seasoned, battle-hardened mods say “Em pee sims,” so that’s good enough for me.
Mip-sims.
Im-ho.
I work with more acronyms than you could make from a bowl of alphabet soup. I don’t ever say it, but I think of it in my head as “Mundane Pointless Stuff”, and would probably pronounce it M P SIMS if it ever came up.
Em Pee Sims
Whoa. This is EXACTLY how I see it as well. For some reason it always becomes MSPMS in my brain.
Am I the only person who says “em-psi-ems?” (psi as in the Greek letter, pronounced si). So “em-si-ems”, I suppose.
I agree with twickster* – the pronunciations are “em-pee-SIMZ” and “IMM-hoe”.

But of course, mon ami!
The obviously correct pronunciations are “em-pee-simz” and “I-M-H-O”.

sigh I know…KNOW the letters are jumbling around in my brain. But, Miss Pisems.
I do think Im-ho, though.
Same here.
FTR, my prom photo would be all over the Web, but she was a bit of a butterface. I was actually kind of a player back then (not so much anymore), but she had a huge crush on me and I felt bad that she didn’t have a date, so I took her to prom.
The fact that I was clashing in white and black, though? That was my bad.
I’ve always pronounced it “ahleckshandergremble” but I’m different.
Mip-sims for me.
Same here. I was beginning to think I was the only one.
I say, bunch of sad losers who can’t cut it in the pit. But that’s just me.
I pronounce each letter separately in most cases.
Em-pee-es-eye-em-ess
Eye-em-aych-o
Gee-dee
Gee-cue
The Pit
Another mipsims vote here.
Same here.
M-X-P-X
eye ham sofa king wee todd …
What? Oh.
I have no idea where I get the extra syllables from, but I generally think em-pee-ess-isms. Kind of like, libertarianism, Judaism, etc., but with an abbreviated Mundane Personal Shit as the root. Why it’s plural? Because eye ham sofa…
