Well, I say LEGO to rhyme with "let go". "Lay-go" I see more as an American Southerner's way of pronouncing it, since it's regional, but I wouldn't know. To complicate it more, the European LEGO designers call it "Lee-go"! I am more likely to say the acronyms as separate letters, except for MOC, which I pronounce "Mock". I say "vignette" as "vin-yet", "decal" as "dee-kal", and CUUSOO as "koo-so". WIP is "Work in progress", although I don't often use that term or "decal" very often.

Lego = Leg go (as in "wife leg go of me I'm going down the toy aisle whether you like it or not )

[AmperZand]

I pronounce them:

AFOL: ah-foll

MOC: mock

Vignette: vin-yet

Lego: leg-o with AFOLs and other friends, but lay-go with family. My ex-brother in law is Danish and a former TLG employee. I've been trained in the Danish pronunciation!

Ninjago: ninja-go

Bionicle: by-on-ik-ul

CUUSOO: koo-soh - I actually pronounce it as the Japanese word it's meant to be. It's tricky to represent Japanese phonetics in written English.

Lego = Leg go (as in "wife leg go of me I'm going down the toy aisle whether you like it or not )

Laughing my megablocks off

On topic:

AFOL: Aye-foll

MOC: Either ''mock'' or Em-oh-see, it depends

Vignette: vin-yet

[Leo604]

MOC - Em-oh-see.

AFOL - this one's a little weird; in my head I say each letter individually but forgo the O so it's just ay-ef-el.

[Sid Sidious]

AFOL: AF (as in after) OL (as in hold)

MOC: Mock

For Lego, I pronounce e as the number.

[just2good]

I say it...

MOC- Mock

AFOL- Ay ef oh el

KFOL- Kay ef oh el

TFOL- Tee ef oh el

LEGO- Lay go (sorry, American here )

Cuusoo- Coo so

Technic- Teck nick

WIP- Whip

Vignette- Vig eh net

Ninjago- Nin jahh go

Chima- Chee ma

Sir Sidious, what do you mean, "'E' as the number"?

Some more (A few pronunciations seem obvious to me, but that could vary):

SNOT- phonetically

BURP- ditto here

DSS- no vowels here, so I say the letters individually

Technic- Tek-nick

Polybag- Polly bag

Mini-doll figure- $!&@#*!!!

[LEGO Guy Bri]

AFOL - Ah Foal because of the 'a' sound in adult

MOC - same as most, like it has a 'k' on the end

WIP - Whip, like cream, children, or a my car

LEGO - Le Go not Egg-o

Vignette - Veen yet

Decal - Dee Kal

Cuusoo - Kyu so, coo-ing's fer babies

BURPs, LURPs, & SNOTs - I don't really care for these in particular, but I burp after I drink soda to fast; snot in tissue; still can't figure out how to 'lurp'

Sir Sidious, what do you mean, "'E' as the number"?

I think he's kidding, like L3GO

...snip...

I say Leh-go myself, but I have heard people pronouncing it Lay-go and Lah-go. I suppose anything except Legos is fine.

OMG, without sounding rude, it really annoys me when people say LEGOs. The brand name is LEGO... It's like sheep or fish... There's no 's'. Drop the 's'!!

So that's my rant over. And I say:

LEGO: leh-go

MOC: Mock

WIP: Whip

AFOL: A-foll

and I don't think I have ever said any of the others out loud

[Mr Bill]

Well this topic made me laugh!

My pronunciations:

AFOL - A-Fall (that's a long A as in "say")

TFOL - T-Fall

MOC - Mock (like the word for making fun of someone)

WIP - I just say "Work In Progress."

LEGO - Lay-Go (rhymes with a toaster treat... and to my US west coast ears/pronunciation* there is no difference between Lay and Leh)

Vignette - Vin-YET

Decal - DEE-kal (was this one really a mystery to anyone?)

Technic - I'm "old school" here -- I pronounce this "Expert Builder" since I was buying them since the beginning (before they came up with the name Technic). But on those occaisions where I am forced to say it I do indeed pronounce it as the word "technique" (and apparently I'm doing this wrong)

Cuusoo - COO-soo

SPOT, BURP, LURP, POOP, SAMP/STAMP -- all phonetically as spelled

--Mr. Bill

*I can't call it an accent because we don't have an accent on the West coast -- we pronounce things the way they're in the dictionary, LoL

[Mr. Elijah Timms]

I only just heard the other day that technic is not just a bastardized spelling of technique, it's pronounced "tech-nick."

Who knew?

Probably everyone but me.

Not just you. For 30 years I've been saying "tek-neek." Funny how something you attach to as a child just seems to build itself into your acceptable vernacular vocabulary, to the point that anything else seems ridiculous, even if it's correct.
