to think 'AIBU' is pronounced 'Aye-boo' and NOT 'ay, eye, bee, you'?

[CaptainNancy]

Well am I?

Surely there cannot be a MNer (not even lurkers) who don't say 'Yanbu' as 'Yanboo'?

I see: Am I being unreasonable?

It only takes a few seconds and I don't worry about those anymore...

Can't wait for when I retire!

A.I.B.U...

All else is mental gum chewing :o

You've got me sat here talking like Wall.E... thanks for that sigh

Time for sleep!

I agree, OP.

And to my great shame, I am immensely sad and the words 'my dee-aitch says ...' passed my lips today.

I blame the fact I was in the company of known MNers. But I am still ashamed.

Have none of you ever said it aloud?

Hehe- elladee- I have said 'Dee aitch' before now, thankfully only to other MNers or to DH himself.

Yanboo. And sometimes I want to use that word, and aiboo, in RL. You watch, I bet they'll slip into the vernacular.

Yes, I've said "Dee aitch" as well as "Dee ess" irl more than once , but the worst was actually saying "Oh, yanboo, that was so wrong... " to my mother after she told a work story, and not even realizing what I'd done or why she was looking at me that way!

It's that 'you weird fuck' look that gets to me too ...

why wouldn't you say it in full in your head. it is an acronym it makes fuck all sense reading it any other way.

yabu

I always say everything in full in my head

YABU for starting a thread about it.
