I’m doing a little Tuesday-afternoon research here: We’re trying to think of ALL the names in this industry that everyone always f**ks up when they try and pronounce.
For example: Tein. (tea-in, tane, tine, etc, wtf etc)???????
We’re going to try and compile them all together, and print the most agreed on pronunciations… to end the social awkwardness once and for all.
Heh – so leave us a comment if you can think of any.
Dinan
Eibach
Eibach is easy.
Mugen is a good one, though.
haha – Eibach is confusing as hell if you’re a newb. Nice – I hadn’t thought of these three yet. (adds to list)
Ya, I always want to say e-bach.
Tokico is another one that gets me.
Meagan ? Or Megan I think it is.
Looks like Megan, but apparently is pronounced Mee-gan
^^^^^holy shit…. I didn’t know that.
To be honest, if you’re new, you wouldn’t know how to pronounce half this foreign crap.
Imagine if you had never heard these names, how would you pronounce them?
– Quaife (I just call it queef for good measure)
– Seibon
– Yowai (they make cooling plates.. but seriously.. wtf is a “yo-way” !? YahWai!? Who knows, shit!)
– Mugen (honestly, if we didn’t hear it all the time, would it be that easy?)
– Fujita (Seriously, in japanese is the J = H?) Foojita? FooHita?
– PIAA (not that difficult, but people can butcher it!!! ROFL)
– Tanabe (Tuh-Naybe…. ever heard that from a redneck? ROFL)
– Tokico, Takata, Mishimoto (come on, really, who can pronounce that Jap shit!?)
Lets not forget wheels.
– Enkei
– Kei Office
– Theres some models of work wheels that are unpronounceable. WTF do they speak over there, Klingon!? Work Rezax, Work Ryving? Meisters?
– 5Zigen. Seriously..
–
