How do you pronounce rofl etc in your head?

[63]

"O" and "P" sounds are completely different. You don't pronounce typos with any influence from the original word. "Teh" doesn't sound like "The".

True, but where the hell does the 'a' come in?

 

[Esquire]

Roffle like waffle
pawned like pawn
lol like lol(ly)

 

[kaikisjew9]

roffel
powned
la-may-o

No idea, technically it should probably be "pwinned" or something. Anyway to "pawn" something you have to already "own" it.

 

[Kamikazie]

where the hell did you get

pawned like pawn

 

[Chris D]

I'm the only one that pronounces it "prawned" then?

I do it for shits and giggles.

<RJMC> -- FTW means "For the win" not "**** the way" :/

 

[SimonomiS]

He might have meant that as a joke. Although with RMJC it's kind of hard to tell.

 

[Noobulon]

rofl = "roffle"
lmao = "lam-ae-oh"
pwned = "POONED" (sounds too jokes that way)

 

[Reaktor4]

rofel
lamaow
powned

 

[Asus]

In my head, I usually just say the what the letters mean, like rofl.
OMG is about the only one I actually say...O M G.
When I see pwned, I just think owned.

 

[StardogChampion]

I normaly think of them as words in my head instead of letters. In my head
ROFL=rolf (rhymes with Ralf from the Simpsons)
pwned=pawned
LMAO=lamo (as in lamb-O)
I don't know why I pronounce them in my head that way but it's just the way it is.

ROFL - row-flow
pwned - p-owned
LMAO - l-m-a-o

 

[Naudian]

ROFL = Roffle
Pwned = Pned
LMAO = Lahmassoff....:|
WTF = Wha-teh-Phh

 

[15357]

ROFL =roffle
pwned = pawned
LMAO = Lahmao
WTF = Whathe****

 

[Vigilante]

Rofl - Roffel
pwned - powned

[joule]

ROFL - Roffle
Pwned - Powned
LMAO - El Em Ay Oh
WTF - dub tee eff or what the ****

 

[Dog--]

ROFL - RawFull
OMG - om guh
LOL - LAWL
PWNED - Powned
LMAO - Luh Mayo

 

[Darkknighttt]

rofl= roffle
pwned=pooned
lmao=lamao

probably, basically how it all should be pronounced.

 

[Dog--]

heh heh, POON-ed

Don't mind me, I'm just imature..

 

[sinkoman]

ROFL = Raw Full
PWND = Pawned (I know it's supposed to be Powned, but Pawned sounds cooler)
LMAO = Ell Mah Oh

I've been interested about the following too, so I figured input from you guys would be good :E

nVidia = Enn Vidia
BIOS = Bye Oss

Reason being is because people I know always call them this:

nVidia = Nuhh Vidia
BIOS = Bye Ose

EDIT: Guess we're doing these too

LOL = Lawl
WTF = Wha The Fuhh

There's this computer technician I work with, he pronounces 'GeForce' as 'Gee E Force'. I hate it, it's so annoying. The extra 'E' isn't needed!

Depending on my mood, i'll either go "Gee Force" (i'm in a playful mood) or "Jee Force" (i'm in a serious mood/trying to show off computer skills mood).

What about the others I mentioned though?

I meant as the 'Juh' pronunciation. Who the hell would say 'Gee' Force? Guh?

What about the others I mentioned though?

What about them?

 

[SimonomiS]

I'm surprised people pronounce GeForce and nVidia wrong, I'm sure I've heard them in adverts or interviews somewhere.

G - Force.
N - Vidia.

Although I pronounce BIOS as Bye-Ose.

See! I always have to tell people "umm, that's now how you pronounce nVidia".

But I pronounce BIOS "Bye Oss". I find "Bye Ose" wierd, and kinda foreign sounding.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Guhforce? Nuhvidia? Wuhtehfuh?

Lammayo.

 

[The Mullinator]

rofl = roffle
pwned = powned

[mortiz]

I usually convert the acronym to its proper meaning straight away, except in the case of lol which my brain always says is "Lots o' Laughs" instead of "Laughs out Loud".

Most others I just say the letters in my head.
