Awww, and here I've been pronouncing it "But-hed" this whole time!

That's Mr. But-Hed to you.

"you say" my username:

monkeyboy all one word, not monkey boy.

Well to be honest, it should roll off the tongue admonishingly like monkeyboy!?! or monkeyboy!!!

As Sanzo sometimes calls Son Goku in Saiyuki.

Baaaad, bad perv!

Honestly, I add syllables to certain user names to make them easier for me to remember. I'm not gonna point any out, though.

Mine? That's easy. It's just "let" with a k sound at the beginning. Not too hard . . . at least, I don't think so . . .

Why do you disagree?

I read it in a favorite book. Latched onto the character, and kept the name.

No way! And here I thought it was your maiden name or something. >_<
Shows how good I am at guessing.

And for the record: My username - the full length version is Zagadgita.
The correct spelling according to my dictionary is : Bhagavad-Gita Pronounced bug'e ved ge't・ . and the definition is: "Song of the Blessed One" - n. a philosophic dialouge that is a sacred Hindu text, found in the Mahabharata, one of the ancient Sanskrit epics.

I saw this spelling in a really old british dictionary,l figured it would be completely unique on the net, and whaddya know, it is. I've never had to use any other. Since it's not REALLY the correct spelling, I have made this one my own, with my own pronunciation.

zaga'd-GITA or zaaagahd geee tah (emphasis on gita)

I'm always reminded of Buckaroo Banzai.

And the important thing to remember on Baakay is to really accentuate the baa.

Anyways, KHY-merr-uh.

Aww-sure-rah (ashura was taken from RG Veda, one of my favorite CLAMP manga. The anime is quite tame compared to the manga).

Thank goodness you posted, I never could figure out how to pronounce your username

Kymaera, nice to see Tigra as your new avator

So now never forget my name!

It's always the same, in each and every country they say my name wrong

Sorry, if you can't pronounce mine, maybe you should consider English 101.

monkeyboy · Post by **monkeyboy** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 11:17 am

kymaera, I like that quote you posted too!

thanks!

I can pronounce your name DT! It's pronounced "Pain in my A$$" during auction time.

Did I get it right? Or is it "The en-emy"? heehee.
