Do you say Diss or Diz?

[jellydisney]

I always say D-I-S boards. Never occured to me to call id Diz or Diss.

Me too, I say D.I.S. Even though they don't stand for anything. Guess I'm just too used to web jargon. lol, http, www, etc.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

I say Diz

 

[Muffy]

I always say (afectionately) the D I S!

 

[bjakmom]

Hmmm - never really thought it out, just always assumed it was diz, short for Dizney - oh well, that's what's imbedded in my brain now !!

 

[highland3]

I'm a dizz too, just taking from Diznee.

 

[marypops!]

i pronuce it as the DISZ boards and i didn't make a mistake in the spelling thats how i say it

 

[paigevz]

DIZ it IZ!!

As an example: His

Do you say Hiz or Hiss??

Ah, but Sis.....do you say Siz or Siss? I say Diz....................as in short for Disney..............................tomato, tomato.......................

 

[Hippychickali]

Diz. like diz-ney. not diss-ney.

I have the opposite logic. I always called it Dis as in Disney. Where does the "z" come from?

[Krissalee]

While I consider it DIS, I guess I actually pronunciate it to sound like "Diz."

Good call Paige! I mist that one!! Oh, I mean I missed that one!!
I'll stop here!!

D.I.S. stands for Disney Information Station. If you take the first letters and pronounce it phonetically, it's Diss.

 

[kirbsam]

i am not sure i ever said it outloud, but in my mind it rhymes with sis...

'Cuz it's pronounced "Diz-ney" not "Diss-ney", I guess. It's always been DIZ for me.

me too!

 

[Luv2Travel]

I've always called it the "diss" boards. Surprised I'm in the minority on this one. But calling it the "diz" does make sense if you think about the way you pronounce Disney. Learn something new everyday! I agree with an earlier poster though, I've been saying the "diss" for so long now, I don't know if I could change to "diz".

 

[northern michigan]

(D) Disney (I) Information (S) Station? Is that true? If so, I guess it would be DIS"s" rather than DIZ.

 

[Cara]

I have always pronounced it "DISS" in my mind!

 

[goofy4tink]

D.I.S. stands for Disney Information Station. If you take the first letters and pronounce it phonetically, it's Diss.

That was my understanding also. I've always said it as dis but have no problem with diz. I would imagine the diz comes from the pronounciation of disney. So whatever is okay with me.

 

[my3princes]

I have always pronounced is dis or D I S. I think of them as "dis"cussion boards about disney. When I am speaking to my husband we refer to it as the boards.

 

[SEAlla]

DIS for me too, as in DISney.
