A-things

to myself:
Atax

In conjunction with the derogatory names I slander the Aatxe with, I usually also scream about not wanting their "Piles of Glittering Bullsh*t". Then I rant more at the MF'ing Moo-Cows for good measure until one drops an Ecto for me.

You guys are dumb.

Clearly it's pronounced;

Ay ay tixxy.

Duh.

Winterclaw · Jul 30, 2009, 02:32 AM // 02:32

At-axe. Then I started thinking about it because of this thread. Now I pronounce it either typo or ah-tzee (like Yahtzee but with a long a instead of a ya).

I'm dyslexic... so until recently, when I realized the real spelling of Aatxe... it was definitely pronounced "at*axe", but quick like... so "attacks"

I have, they needed a tissue afterwards.

I usually pronounce them A'txe (At-kse)

@ all who are complaining about only getting Glittering dust from them... try not to hit them that hard next time. Obviously you are hitting them so hard that all the Ectos are being smashed into powder

I used to pronounce them as a tongue breaker, until I found out that they're actually mythological creatures. After that, I kinda had to switch to the original spanish/basque pronounciation...

I'm pretty sure everyone says "Attacks", but it most likely is pronounced more like "at tax" because of the way the word looks.

Have you read this thread?

Bellatrixa · Jan 03, 2011, 06:13 PM // 18:13

This did actually come up in Vent a couple of days ago, oddly enough. Everyone was pronouncing it "at-axe", myself included.

I couldn't care less about the pronunciation; just as long as everyone knows what's being screamed about!

Lithril Ashwalker · Jan 03, 2011, 06:44 PM // 18:44

remember the show Xena the warrior princess?....it wasnt pronounced KSeena...it was Zeena...

its At*Zay. or Et*Sai

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aatxe

Never said the word, guess that means I haven't come across this problem.

Zebideedee · Jan 08, 2011, 01:25 AM // 01:25

I usually pronounce it when I put too much pepper on my tomato soup
