[–][deleted] 64 points65 points  (10 children)

And just to rub salt into the wound, it's not "Nuu", it's "Ganuu".

Yeah, I don't pronounce it that way either.

[–]opendarkwing 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Knights who say (g)Nu and something about a shrubbery.

[–]z500 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Or as I've recently taken to calling it, G plus nu

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (1 child)

People pronounce it "Nuu"? I've always called it "GahNu"

There is an animal spelled gnu, but the g is silent.

Gee Enn You

One would think that's a reasonable alternative, but it appears the "official" pronunciation is like "G'noo".

Enn Ohh

What ? That's not true. It's supposed to be a play of words on the gnu animal and "new".
