Then, yes, I'm really really really stupid.
My rhymes stab you in the heart like I'm Cupid.
I bet you concluded,
When I dream its so lucid
My attacks are concluded
And NEVER diluted.

Eminem is reputed
His skills aint disputed
But next to him I'll be saluted

And if he thinks I can be excluded then
I got somethin' for his punk ass

(That Sublime lyric always feels off)

But yea. I'm a dummy.

YES.

Clarification, were you asking: "Are you such a boss M.C. and drop such good rhymes that it's *stupid"?

Then, yes, I'm really really really stupid.
My rhymes stab you in the heart like I'm Cupid.
I bet you concluded,
When I dream its so lucid
My attacks are concluded
And NEVER diluted.

I have never so much as encountered people pronouncing it as an acronym.

F-Y-I.

Same. It would never occur to not to just say the letters.

I will state I have always said it FYI, but my coworker was messaging me and brought it up as 'fwee' (as in its how he imagines it to be pronounced) and it led me to think hmm. Well. How would I go about this...

@Ghost SQL is pronounced as 'sequel' tyvm

tuhvweem?

@Ghost Actually that's a tricky one, it actually means 'My Parents Named Me Something Stupid.' Its just a really poor acronym.

[dvoraen]

My official response is "I just like clicking buttons", but my internal pronunciation of FYI is "eff why eye". That is all!

[Misadventure]

Fwee is just Welsh.

Off how? It's the world's most mellow anthem to fantasizing about physically abusing your ex-girlfriend and murdering her new beau.

physically abusing your ex-girlfriend

I'd pop a cap in Sancho and I'd slap her dad around.

Edit, because I realize this is an inside joke -- I know that's not the actual lyrics, but I have a friend who sings it just like this. It's adorable.

[Deleted]

This whole time I guess I misheard the lyrics because I thought he was singing about his daughter.

Huh.

I pronounce G-U-I by the letters, S-C-S-I same, S-Q-L as well. You'd think from some people's expressions that I'd just walked out of the 1500s, but some people get awfully pompous about how their acronyms are relayed. If I want to say Ess-Kew-Ell, I am no less versed on it than someone who barely can manage 'Sequel' without swallowing half the vowels. "Seql".

but scuzzy is so fun to say.

Also, jesus, I think we found what all of MSB can agree on: FYI must be Eff-Why-Eye.

lso, jesus, I think we found what all of MSB can agree on: FYI must be Eff-Why-Eye.

That one asshole is gonna come along and ruin it now, just you watch. Otherwise, mark it on your calendars!

hah I laughed.

Off as in "doesn't rhyme in the song with the rest of the lyrics in that verse."

Let's say I recently suffered a traumatic brain injury and decided I needed to pronounce FYI in some way other than the letters.

Why in the hell would I ever pronounce it 'fwee' or 'fwy' instead of 'fyee' or 'fy-eye'? It's not FWI.

Anyway, someone pronouncing FYI as anything other than eff-wy-eye' is almost certainly someone's way of signaling that they've been kidnapped and we're really letting them down right now.

@TheOnceler

Your first paragraph answers your second.

[The Sands]

This reminds me of when people thought VRML was going to catch on and they kept referring to it as 'vermel'.

My response was that I didn't think it was going to overtake 'hutumel'.
