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

I usually refer to it as just "the message board" but it is also known as the place where I waste most of my time at. :D ;D ;D ;D
For all you "Language police" I am well aware that I ended that sentence with a preparation. If you have a problem with it-sue me. :D ;D ;D ;D
