I know I can't be the first to be curious about the correct pronunciation of certain names associated with mods, vendors and the like. Names like Muz. Is it pronounced "Mooze", "Muzz or "Muse"? An either or?

Thought it'd be fun. So what names have you been pronouncing wrong or were just curious about? And who knows the correct version(s)?

I'll start the list. Someone please provide the correct pronunciation for:

Muz
ATE (brake fluid)
Motul
Spugen
Mugen

I'm sure there are more. Whaddaya got?

And for you Search Engine sensitive types, yes, I did one and did not find a consolidated thread.

 

Muzz
A. T. E.
Motool (i think)
Spewgen
Gozhigen (the actual Japanese pronunciation)
Myugen (americanized pronunciation)
Moogen (a little of both, or just retarded) LOL

 

See.

Its Ah-tee and I thought it was Spoogen...
Someone told me it was Mottull brake fluid...thought it was moetool, too.

 

You guys are just shy, right?

 

yeah, the ATE one I wasnt sure of.....and Spoogen/Spewgen was just off of how people say Myoogen/Moogen....

Oh well....

 

are you sure Muz = muzz?

i thought it was Muse.

 

Nup, Muzz.

I just found out today that Touge is pronounced 'Tow-gay'.

 

Touge = i thought was TOOJ.

 

If memory serves, Mugen is spelled with the umlaut diacritic about the 'u', which means it's pronounced as 'oo', as in Moogen.

 

I always thought it was pronounced:

Moo - Ghen

and what about TEIN?


TINE? as in FrankensTEIN
TIN
