Pronounciation

[Zweiland]

I have a... somewhat strange question to ask all of you.

When I was first visiting this site, I pronounced the name WDWMagic as "Doubleyou dee doubleyou magic". Over time, I found it saved time to just say something like "Wuhduhwuhmagic". Now, I find myself pronouncing WDW itself as "Wuhduhwuh".

Am I the only one that does this? If not, what other Disney related acronyms do you pronounce like real words?

I am the only one, aren't I. *sighs*

 

[Nemo14]

pretty much.....

 

[rsoxguy]

I always refer to it as "the forum", as this is the only forum to which I belong. Your thing is, well...

 

[Zweiland]

And yes, that's Shatner.

 

[Disneydreamer23]

I say my disney site

 

[Goofyernmost]

We are on a last name basis so I just call it "Magic". I am a simple person, but I still refuse to be a Shatner.

I pronounce it as "wuh-duh-wuh-muh-aaa-gee-eye-k." I find it makes it easier to say.

I call it Walrus Wreck-it Wynchel dot Walter Disney Wendy Mufasa Alladin Genie Iago Cinderella dot Casey Oliver Monstro.

I get strange looks at work.

(by the why, I may or may not have been known to use the Disney phonetic alphabet when on the phone with Disney Travel...which, I'm sure also gets a weird look from the person on the other end of the line, but it's a phone, so I can't see! "Ok, sir, what is your confirmation number? Seven-Goofy-Mickey-Six-Five-Donald-Nine)

Whenever I call someone I start with the sentence "Take the first letters from the words to spell out the sentences I'm trying to tell you." For example, if I wanted to say "I would like three potatoes," I would say "Indigo... Wisconsin Olive Underwear Lukewarm Dove... Locksmith Indiana Kung-fu Egg... Tiger Hobo Relevant Enormous Envy... Pewter Oscillate Toes Abraham Tingle Oxford Enigma Sandals." It's pretty clear, right?

I don't pronounce it. My sister calls it "that Disney board", so that's what I call it with her.

Clear as mud.

I call it the asylum because there is a bunch of crazy people here. And I'm one of them.

That's why we have the Saget thread, to escape the craziness.

Did you work in a government coding office?? That would have won the war (doesn't matter which one).

 

[Minthorne]

I call it my Disney methadone.

 

[acishere]

I call it the Magic Forums, maybe I should clarify that its about Disney to people when I talk about it. They might think I'm an aspiring magician or addicted to psychedelics. Actually I think Disney theme parks are legally classified as a psychedelic so I guess they aren't too far off.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I call it "The forum" just like "The Ohio State University".

 

[dave&di]

I just call it by its proper name! I'm crazy!
