How do you pronounce pzizz?

Asked by Grabbins (87points) June 3rd, 2008

I got this great software called pzizz but I don’t know how to say it! Is it a silent p?

I’ve heard it called puh-zizz, but that’s just from a friend.

@ben: Yeah, everyone I know pronounces it that way. We’re probably all wrong. :)

i didn’t know about this application. looks really neat! thanks for sharing. As for your question, I looked around on the site a bit, and they did not have a specific way of pronouncing it (so there isn’t an official way). When I think of the concept I kind of want to say it like the sound of buzzing of a bee “bzzzzzzzzzizzzzzzzz” except with a “p”. but if you are talking to someone about the application and don’t want them to look at you funny, i would probably say it like ben’s answer.

Hi ben and richard

You’re both correct – it’s “puh-zizz”

When we first started working on the project we were concentrating on the energizer module – designed to help you power nap during the day.

p = power
zizz = nap in the UK (we’re Brits)

Therefore, pzizz!

Hope this helps clear up the mystery… :-)

All the best

@pzizz: I have to say, I’ve been pimping your product to all of my friends after ideabrian recommended it to me.

Also, what’s with the dialect of the voice-over actor in the product? Sounds standard American, but I occasionally hear a British a sound.
