Optimization Challenge: pronounce Pun-Pun
Yeah, I asked this in the "What does Pun-Pun mean to you" thread, but it didn't really get answered, so I figured I'd start a new one just for this question.
How does one pronounce Pun-Pun? My initial opinion was that it should be puhn-puhn, as though it were simply the noun Pun, repeated. But it occurred to me that a case could also be made for pyoon-pyoon, as if the adjective puny had been shortened, and repeated.
Which would you choose?"'To know, to do, and to keep silent.' Crowley had the first two down pat."

I pronounce it "uhb-serd" or maybe "ree-dik-you-luss"

Re: Optimization Challenge: pronounce Pun-Pun

Re: Optimization Challenge: pronounce Pun-Pun
What does the term mean? It has to mean something, if there's an entire thread devoted to its pronunciation.

Also: option A above. It's not British English, so you can say it was you see it.Last edited by bosssmiley; 2007-04-09 at 07:45 PM.

Re: Optimization Challenge: pronounce Pun-Pun
wouldn't "poon-poon" also be a viable interpretation?

Yes, but "puhn-puhn" leaves more room for funnyness and bad puns. Originally Posted by Indon

If a cute girl with a red sash and overalls on slips you a note, ignore it, forget it, and sic the police on her.
You receive ten fail points. You may spend them as you see fit.
