I pronounce it 'Sword' but the GB team especially Ryan seem to pronounce it 'Sword' is there an injoke I'm not getting?
Sword
Object » linked to 2647 games
A length of exceptionally sharp metal with a handle, used for centuries as the go-to killing device for the human race. It's dead simple: you stick the pointy end in the thing you want to die. Or you could always slash them with the equally sharp sides. That works too.
How do you pronounce Sword?
" I pronounce it 'Sword' but the GB team especially Ryan seem to pronounce it 'Sword' is there an injoke I'm not getting? "What.
You pronounce it "Sword" and they pronounce it "Sword", the exact same spellings, according to what you said. Could you maybe try to elaborate on exactly what you mean?
I pronounce "sword" as "fasjhgoidashgisaubdugos".

The reason why the Giant Bomb crew pronounces it the way they do is because of The RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan. He's always pronounced the W in sword for some reason. If you listen to older episodes of the Bombcast, you'll hear Jeff and Ryan reference the Wu-Tang Clan.
I think the OP used a voice to text program to make that comment.
I pronounce it the normal way- Soared.
Are. you. serious? Ryan's not that stupid, he already explained, when they were answering to an email on the Bombcast, that he said it that way because it's awesome-r sounding than the correct pronunciation. But it's all jokes. I'm sure (I hope) everyone knows how to pronounce the word correctly, at least in normal speech.
Oh, will you people just stop with this baffling inability to understand that he's just doing it for shits and giggles. Yes, of course he's pronouncing it wrong, but anytime someone tries to explain why he does it, it just drains all the fun out of it.
So please, stop asking why Ryan says "Absofruitly" and "sWord" and "robit" and "interweb" and countless others and just be at ease with it and shut the fuck up.
Sorry.

I know, man. I say it like sword but my friends says it like sword and his cousin says it like sword. One time we got into a fight and his mom said it was sword, and we all said it was sword.
Totally crazy, yo.
