I keep reading it as "slurp-ink," personally.

I keep accidentally seeing “shipwreck.”

I always read it as "s-l-r-p- oh fuck it, whatever, what a fucking random ass name is that"

slrpnk.net mentioned

Doesn’t work because only vowels are removed. For slurp neck to work it’d need to be slrpnck. You know, with a C!

tsk.

Shoddy memeing from someone named @NickwithaC@lemmy.world

My first Fediverse instance!

Is it the same people that pronounce SQL as "sequel"?

When it's obviously "school?"

It's always been "slur punk" for me XD

Wait, do you actually say the letters every time? Just think of how many syllables you've wasted in aggregate over the years!

Slurp ink

you mean it's not 'squeal'?

slur punk?

Oh! That's what it means!

It's always been an otomotopoea (really fucked the spelling on that) to me. Like, the sound of someone sliding a can across the floor and into a bell. Sluuuuurrrrrrrrrr pink

I usually just don't talk, that saves even more syllables

I think you mean "ass quail"

You mean it's not SLR punk, in reference to the cameras?

Would listen.

Slur pink

Slorp ank

Someone on here the other day said it's actually squirrel

Squeeeeel for me

"slurp ink motherfucker" sounds like what an octopus says when you piss it off.

slurp nuke

I've been reading it as Slur Punk. Still not as bad as reading CNT-FAI as Cunt Fay.

Same, I keep imagining it as some variation on ‘beatnik’.

I spent 20 years working as a sys admin, moving to new offices around the globe every few years. No matter which country I worked in, every single sys admin I've ever worked with always pronounced it "sequel." I've never met anyone in real life who spelled out the letters when speaking it.

At first glance my mind always replaces the r with a c and I think we’re talking about the 1998 classic SLC Punk.

Slurp NK (North Korea)

I read it like it sounds. Like "Sputnik", but Slrpnk.
