Perhaps the most STUPID question...

[x morgan]

I feel SO stupid, but I've been wondering this for a while, even before I joined up. How do you pronounce "DIS?" Is it like...Diss, as in "She dissed her!!" or is it like the letters, like "Dee Eye Ess"...???

 

[Babyjustrun]

i think it's..
Dis, like as in the beginning of Disney.

 

[CinRell]

I always say Dizz

 

[x morgan]

So when people say DISers it's like...Dizzers? That doesn't make much sense...

 

[CleveRocks]

I gotta say, OP, it IS a really stupid question in my opinion. (YOU ASKED FOR IT!).

The DISboards is all about DISney. DISboards ... DISney ... get it??? Pronouce the DIS in DISboards exactly as you pronounce the DIS in Disney, and there you have it.

That's how I always said it?

 

[KJHawley]

Maybe we should make it an unpronounceable symbol- like Prince used to have.

Whatever way you pronounce "DIS?", it doesn't matter to me, I'm glad to be here.

 

[x morgan]

Heh...alright, thanks everyone. *still feels stupid.*

I think it has a lot to do with where you are from and your natural accent.

I am from the south - I say "Dizz-nee" therefore I'm a Dizz-er

People from other areas of US may say "Diss-ney" I guess they would be Diss-ers

Deep in the heart of where I'm from - you may even hear the occasional "Dih-nee" (We southerners tend to drop unneccessary letters and even whole syllables - who has time for 'em!! )

I understand perfectly. I live in a really small hick town in far south VA, and believe me...that's all I hear.


Thanks everyone again.

hey "x morgan"......i'm here for ya! you're not going to believe this, but i was thinking about this this morning! i was reading the boards (my newest addiction), and was thinking to myself "i wonder how to pronounce DIS, is it diss or dizz".....i swear!

this is too funny


have a good day!

 

[Tinker*Shell*Bell]

not a stupid question...wondered the same thing myself just a few days ago...

 

[x morgan]

Thank god I wasn't the only one.

 

[Babyjustrun]

when i first joined, actually, before i joined i wasn't sure whether it was DIZZ or DIS stood for something. i was really confused, and just called it the Dizboards cos it made more sense to me.

but whatever floats thy boat.

 

[sajetto]

I've always said either "Dizz" or each letter "D-I-S"

 

[Babyjustrun]

another reason i call it Dizz is because D-I-S takes forever to say.

 

[DLBDS]

I say Diss. Dizz just doesn't flow for me. I rarely say it out loud anyway because I never actually speak of the DISboards to anyone! When I READ it though, I say Diss. Why am I talking about this?! There has to be a more important thread somewhere......
