MeanLaureen's Useless Poll of the Day - Monday! This or That?

[MeanLaureen]

Good Morning everyone! I'm seriously running late this morning so I'm going to do a "this or that" poll. "This or that" polls are a 2 option poll, basically dealing with the same thing but do you either like this or that, pronounce something like this or that.. etc.

Today's "This or That" question is the pronunciation of the name of this website. Do you pronounce it "The DIS" with DIS rhyming with "THIS" or do you pronounce it "The DIZ", Rhyming it with "LIZ"?

To qoute Akeelah from the movie Akeelah and the Bee, Diss - a verb : treat, mention, or speak to rudely; "He insulted her with his rude remarks"; "the student who had betrayed his classmate was dissed by everyone"

Therefore, I Diz

I go to Diz-ney, so I Diz! LOL

when we were little, we sang this (with the appropriate gestures being diz - circling your finger at your temple like to symbolize crazy, knee - point to knees, land - well I can't really remember but I'm sure we pointed behind us with our thumb):

3 sailors went to diz diz diz
to see what they could diz diz diz
but all that they could diz diz diz
was the bottom of the deep blue diz diz diz

3 sailors went to knee knee knee
to see what they could knee knee knee
but all that they could knee knee knee
was the bottom of the deep blue knee knee knee

3 sailors went to land land land
to see what they could land land land
but all that they could land land land
was the bottom of the deep blue land land land

3 sailors went to diz knee land
to see what they could diz knee land
but all that they could diz knee land
was the bottom of the deep blue diz knee land


anyway, so I too "diz"

I say DIZ because of DiZney, but I was never quite sure how it was intended to be said. Honestly, if I'm talking about the DIS to someone in my "regular" life, I tend to call it "my website." You know, my personal website full of tens of thousands of my closest friends who all obsess as much as I do over my favorite topic.

 

[KAMommy]

I say dis (as in this) probably because I have one of those lazy southern tongues!

 

[ddavis860]

I DIZ...my kids call me Diz Board Deb....

THe DIS ryhming with Liz cause of DIS ney

so Lauri how are we suppose to say it???????????????????

 

[MeanLaureen]

Okay.. the DIS stands for Disney Information Station (not the first 3 letters in Disney as many think ) so the "technical" pronounciation of DIS rhymes with "THIS" But, as you can see by the poll, more people pronounce it DIS rhyming with LIZ
