AIBU to ask how AIBU sounds in your head?

[365GelatoDaysAYear]

When you see 'AIBU', does AIBU sound in your head like the letters A, I, B, U?
Or like "AmIbeingunreasonable" run very fast together?
Or like a howl, "AYBOOOOO"?

YABU: everyone know how AIBU sounds
YANBU: AYBOOOOOOO AYBOOOOO

Mainstream media stalks these pages, yet no academic journal will pick up the important sociolinguistic research we are doing here. TABU.

Eye Boo

Eye Boo.

It's exactly this!

It’s most definitely’ AYBOOOO’

I’ve tried but it told me my image wasn’t a valid format 🫤

How did the DC say it? Spell it out? Or did they say it like a word?

Just said the letters. So 75% the same but my brain just did not compute!

Oooh so in my head I read it as 'amIbeenunable' like it's the actual words but contracted! I had never realised that before! Human brains are weird 🤣

There are other acronyms that I sometimes can’t remember the real words for e.g.

STBXH = shoot the bastard ex-husband
AFAIK = and fuck-all (do i) I care

🙃(yes, I know they don’t make sense, but it’s what I hear in my head when I see the letters!)

I find it hard to remember that SIOB is not son-of-a-bitch

IMHO sounds in my mind like a nickname for 'Imhotep' and brings a kind of pyramidal authority to the tone of the post.

HTH is obviously “oh do fuck off” 😀

I think it depends on my mood. Sometimes eyeboo, sometimes ayeyebeeyou. Never a wolf howl! 😁

No.
Then realise its not about me.
Then no (hedging my bets).
Then if it's a yes, yessyou'reaybooo.
And for especially troubling AIBUs, I have been know to scream AHHHWOOOOOH at odd moments.
Usually prefaced by the realisation i am saying AmIAIBU followed by AmIAmIBeingUnreasonable and it take a while for me to stopcanistopidon'tknowayboo.

I know its am I being unreasonable but I always read it as am I being an asshole

Yes, because that's an Americanism. 🤓

YADNBU I hear in a Sloane Ranger voice as Yaaah, Dee, enbew. Like someone reassuring a friend that their bad behaviour was tickety-boo.

Ay-bou which I think came from the AIBU podcast which I think was short lived

Real Yahs can say Surrey as one syllable!

“Aye - boo” for me.

although sometimes I think “ai - boo” with the “ai” in the same tone as “naice” ham.

Want to track AIBU activity for correlation with phases of the moon

Oh dear, I was born in January.

It's just a shape don't really read it as anything.
