How do you pronounce DISboards?

[billybaruch1]

I naturally say DISboards as "diss boards." But I wonder if that is what everyone else does, and/or if that is the official pronunciation. The DIS stands for "Disney," is that right? If so, do some people call it the "diz boards?" I'm just asking. It's not Walt DISS-ney World, it's Walt Diz-ney World. So why is it Diss-boards (if it is) and not Diz-boards?

Another vote for DIZ boards.

Diz. And the DIS as used here originally comes from Disney Information Station, which Pete shortened a couple years back to just, the DIS.

 

[Nutsy]

I say the Dis or Diz Boards

 

[helenabear]

I used to call it the Disboards, but now it is Dizboards... I do call it "The DIS" (s sound there) still though...

Well, so billy isn't standing alone, I admit to calling them the diss boards.

I can go with diz.

But maybe it should be "DIZ iz boards" for Disney IS boards?

diz boards... I'll have to reprogram my brain, somehow.

Me too... I never even thought there could not be another way to say it...

DIZ, as in Disney, and I am almost embarrassed to say that I can't stand when people say DISS or D. I. S., it drives me nuts, and I tend to cringe every time someone says it.
