How do you say “HROT”?

[HawkeyeShawn]

This came up last night when my wife (no pic) asked me where I got a recipe. I replied “Hotrot” to which I then realized I don’t think I’ve ever verbalized the name of our Off Topic board. Upon saying it I also realized that I’ve been likely saying the name wrong in my head for quite some time. How do the rest of you say “HROT” with verbally or in your head?

Many options out there.

H-R-O-T, would mean you spell out the abbreviation.

H-ROT, You single out the H, but say “Rot”.

How about the long version, “Hawkeye Report Off Topic”. That’s just too long and painful.

What’s bothering me today is that I don’t know if I can train my brain to pronounce it any other way after all of these years.

H-R-O-T

 

[pink shizzle]

I've wondered this for a long time. I guess I don't really say it. It's more along the line of I see the letters together and acknowledge it. I don't know how it is supposed to be said.

You should never mention this place to people in real life. The one exception may be your therapist. I would call it a general discussion message board focused on politics, boobs, microwave cooking, and pepsi.

I don't know anyone I speak to that is on HROT. When I see HROT my mind "says" Hawkeye Report Off Topic rather than trying to pronounce an acronym.

In my head, this is how I say it. But the first rule of H-ROT is.....

And I thought this thread was around a month ago.

Oh, I have a good idea why but have stopped myself from deploying that idea on the basketball board.

Smart man. I brought up the issue as it has been referenced in some capacity many times. It was not well received.

Glad to know I’m not the only one. My calls the posters my imaginary friends. To which I reply that they are not imaginary and are definitely not friends.

This conversation usually happens after we try to binge watch a new TV show based on a HROT recommendation.

“Well, I heard Bosch was supposed to be really good.”

“Where did you hear that?”

“Um, you know, just heard it.”

“Oh, THAT message board.”

Isn’t the H silent?

 

[Bonerfarts]

You’re telling me that there are people out there that don’t call it H Rot???
