But that list ignores the “No Gnews is Good Gnews with Gary … Gnu” from The Great Space Coaster. Which sure seems to be what Gary was referencing.
I don’t believe I remembered enough about that show to find the reference. Back to the Otaku cave.

Indeed. Here’s what my avatar would be. I even experimented with adding a “g” in front of words starting with “n” in my posts but it was too cumbersome.
Merci a la bon dieu!

But which syllables are accented? I mentally pronounce it NA-ja niv-AE-uh. Is that right?
[/QUOTE]
Yaar, that be it. 
Just don’t call me “NIV-ee-uh”, that makes me kinda stabby.
“Di-Fool”, with a short i, not “Die-Fool”.

Darn, I’ve been mispronouncing yours as “Are Gee Bee”.

Like “Kadgop the Mercotan”. You know, like someone from Mercota.

Your link won’t work for me - is it like the Eddie Murphy skit on SNL - “Wookin Pa Nub in all the wrong places, wookin pa nub…?”

I finally GET IT! Up until this moment I couldn’t conceive of anything other than ‘‘Wook in a Pub.’’ I KNEW it wasn’t ‘‘Wook in a Pub’’ but I couldn’t stop myself from the mental picture of some hairy creature downing some lager at the bar.
Wookin pa nub! Of course! :smack:
Mine’s obvious enough, right?
OLIVES MARCH FORTH
The pronunciation is the same, but I’m sure some of you are thinking, ‘‘March fourth’’ right? No. You have to think of a great army of olives, marching toward their destiny. The fact that my birthday is on March 4th has no bearing on this whatsoever. Mere coincidence.
I’m happy to report that I’ve always been mentally pronouncing Phlosphr correctly. The rest of you, though, forget it!
I like beebs but I always just run the letters together for bbs2k. Sounds like ‘‘bbstk.’’ Yeah I totally thought you were a chick before.

I always thought of a great army of olives marching toward a giant martini.

How do you know that giant martini isn’t their destiny?

Bich.
I hope no one has used this already. I just couldn’t make it through six pages of pronunciations in today’s frame of mind.
Damn, I have neither an unexpected pronunciation nor an amusing witticism to share.
I fail at this thread. 
I’ve always wondered if an “One” was something like a “pony”.
You’ve kept me up at nights with this.
I think mine’s self evident, but for some reason, several different Dopers have stuck a “g” in the middle of my user name. 
I-VEE-LASS.
Echo. Tango, Hotel, Oscar, Romeo, Papa.
