kirks5oh Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 long, but worth it. when i lived in florida, one of my mentors had a 911s vert. he constantly went on and on about how awesome the car was, and how he's leased one for the past 20 years. he would literally correct anyone who didn't pronounce it "porsche-uh". onetime after office i let him see the taillights of my cobra on the freeway--it wasn't even remotely close. guy was kind of a douche. once his lease ended later that year, he went with the turbo/overboost 911. never got a chance to run him again, but he was definitely a douche-canoe. this guy was such a prick, he'd work us like bitches, make hundreds of thousands of dollars off people in the last year of training (like me), and not even have the decency to buy us lunch. i grinned ear-to-ear for months knowing how slow his porsche-uh was.

ImUrOBGYN Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 In Germany they pronounce it Porsch-uh just as in danke. However the rule of how we speak in America prevents the e from being spoken thus it's typically pronounced Porsch with out the e. To me it's obvious the German version is more authentic and correct but feel it should only be spoken by owners of actual Porche's or first generation Germans. Ask my wife and she pronounces it Penis. This post should end the thread and thus, this inanity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 You pronounce the e at the end because there's a fucking e at the end. This is how you pronounce it, it's not a matter of personal preference. It's not porsch. There's an "e" at the end of "douche," and it's pronounced "doosh."

Dr. Pomade Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Another awesome, completely obnoxious pronunciation is "POR-CHEE." I like to say it loudly anytime I see someone who I think is a pompous jackass driving one. Bonus points if you say it to their pompous face.

AudiOn19s Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 I used to get all annoyed about the shortened version, don't really care these days. I almost look at it as a nickname with all of the people that use it incorrectly in the media it's just become common place to use either version.

You would hate the way my friend says it *in redneck voice* PorschUHs It does not matter if there is one, or a pile of them he always adds the s to the end.

I want to say for the record that I never said "PORCHEE" when I saw you in your Porsche. <3 <3 <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Pomade Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Audi = Owdi not awdi Weird, but since I bought my Audi and people have talked about it, a few of them have actually pronounced it "awdi." It sounds so weird to me, because to me it's always been "owdi." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
