Subject: How do you pronounce inthe00s?

Written By: Tam on 05/07/08 at 11:28 pm

I was talking to a friend the other day, and I called this place one thing, they called it another thing, which prompted us to think... what do members call this place?

I say "In the Decades"

He says "In the Zero's"

Others say "In the OOze"

Furthermore, since it is Chucky's Baby - perhaps he can tell us what he calls it......?

Well, out with it! How do you pronounce inthe00s?

Hey Karen btw - I know two more that you could add to your signature "De Do Do Do, De Da Da Da" by the Police and "Da da da" by Trio  ;)

Unless of course these have been suggested before, that is  :)

hmmm...I don't know that I've actually referred to this board by name, come to think of it.  When I talk to my hubby about it, I just say my "message board".  I guess if I had to give it a specific name, I'd probably call it the Ohs too.

We have had this discussion so many times and I think we have come to the conclusion that there is no right way or no wrong way to pronounce it.


As for me, I pronounce it:  In the zero zeros.

I hardly ever call it anything, really.  When I tell Billy about it, I call it "that 80's message board" because that's why I started coming here to begin with (missing the 80's).  But in my mind, when I think about it, I pronounce it "in the Oh Oh's" to myself  ;D
