Verdict PIMI: how to pronounce it?

[Ants!]

*bang bang*

Court is in session. @VashTheStampede is the bailiff this time. @canadaguy is in jail for unrelated reasons.

For the uninformed, PIMI was a subforum from o.g. Gamewinners called "Peering Into the Mind of an Idiot."

A compost pile for the forums where all the members with the fewest braincells were told to play before the admins unplugged their controllers. Kind of like Australia, actually.

I could list the preferred alternatives members have for saying this word that's not a real word, but I can't bring myself to say it the wrong way (because all ways except mine are the wrong way).

 

[Raposuh]

Pih-mee, case closed.

 

[Ants!]

Pih-mee, case closed.

BAILIFF!!!!!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Pih-mee, case closed.

Look man, even if you're right you can't just close a case here. You don't have a gavel. I get paid by the hour. Let's let it play out, man.

 

[Ants!]

Pih-mee, case closed.

Pie-my.

Because the mathematical term "pi".

As the creator of that bastard child PIMI, I am here to say it was never meant to be pronounced as anything other than “dead”.

I sincerely apologize for everything it has wrought upon you all. It was only supposed to be an off-topic forum for the idiots I was friends with that I didn’t want to have to ban for spamming up the other forums, and I had to disguise it as something meaningful otherwise Al would have never let a forum with no real purpose exist because of “muh server strain” or whatever.

Execute me if you must, but I’ll fry myself first.

 

[canadaguy]

Pimm-ee

 

[Jawneh]

It's the mutherfucking P.I.M.I.

 

[shortkut]

Pee-mee or pih-mee/pimm-me depending upon local dialects. The only incorrect answer is pie-my. This isn’t a WiFi situation. In WiFi, each “I” is part of the word for the preceding letter. In PIMI, each “I” is its own word.

In which case every answer is wrong unless you say each letter, pee-eye-emm-eye.

PIMI is an example of a word acronym, not initialism

Anyone saying it as an intitialism is a fucking pyscho

I’m a conscientious objector or sovereign citizen or something, but, okay.

You described half the target audience.

Yeah but like extra

 

[Jawneh]

Instead of P.I.M.I., I could be persuaded to call it Pimmy. Just like Jimmy, but with a P.

 

[dimmerwit]

Good ol' Pimmy.

 

[Quagmire]

Pimm-ee

Well then your previous argument doesn't make sense.

you described it as an initialism, and then went on to say it is not an initialism.

 

[shortkut]

No, I described it as an acronym. Then I went on to classify it as a specific subcategory of acronym, the word acronym, as opposed to initialism which is a different subclass

 

[a dip goblin]

Pee-my because then you can continue into song.

Pee myyyyy Frankenstein.




But really not. I think I'd normally pronounce it pee me or pimmy.

 

[Ants!]

Then your argument doesn't make sense.

 

[shortkut]

Then your argument doesn't make sense.

 

[The Flame]

I always pronounced it Pimmy like MIDI. Anything else just sounds weird and doesn't roll off the tongue well.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

pee me

 

[Ben]

It's pronounced 'Corpus Vile'.

I can't recall if it was Aphrodite or marasamune who suggested that one, to try and rib-kick you trolls.

Real talk, it's 'pimmy' and always has been (to me).

 

[Fool's Requiem]

how do you pronounce "vile"? vee-lay or veye-el

 

[Tommy Boy]

how do you pronounce "vile"? vee-lay or veye-el

something something mew cat

 

[shortkut]

I know it’s vee-leh but I like saying vile like it was an English word because I know the name was chosen as an insult

 

[Ben]

Yeah, no kidding. The translation being "worthless body" and the dictionary definition literally being "something felt to be of so little value that it may be experimented with or upon without concern for loss or damage." To be fair, that did fit the sentiment around the forum of the time.

But yeah, I'd always said "vile" like it was English, not Latin.

 

[Nae'blis]

I've always read it as Pee me, so that's what I'm sticking with!

 

[Smacktard]

Pee eye em eye

 

[Ben]

Pee eye em eye

 

[canadaguy]

I was thinking Ants' way was the worst way but Kelly snatching that crown away

 

[Benzine]

it's pronounced core pus vee lay

 

[Smacktard]

By individually pronouncing each letter of PIMI, you give the forum the consideration and weight it deserves. Referring to it as "pimmy" or "pie-my" is borderline disrespectful.

i'm even more convinced now that it's pimmy or any of the similar sounding ones

Well if it's Latin then the V is pronounced as a W.

Corpus Whee Lay.

 

[Smacktard]

If it's Latin, surely it should be pronounced Corpus Six-lay

That's why I've always called it "pee me".

 

[Fool's Requiem]

"Pee me" forever.

 

[Smacktard]

This works tbh
