Need to clarify pronunciation of Hoppe's.

The best part about typing in a post is that nobody knows how you pronounce/mispronounce the words you're typing.

I never dreamed that this debate would rage on this long.

Aww..wheres your sense of humor?

All work and no play makes -insert name here- a dull boy....gun forums included.

This long? You've only been a member since last month. I think some of these discussions were started on now-defunct boards in the last century.

Que Sabot sabot.

 

[Sergeant Sabre]

How about "Leupold"?

HINT: the Leupold & Stevens phone recording says "Thank you for calling Loopold"

I won't bug you if you still want to spice it up and call it "Lee-uh-pold"

Don't let ignorant anti-gun conservatives take our guns away either.

Yup. And...

If you're reading this, Rev. Krotch (which I am correctly pronouncing "crock"), my belated apologies.

Too bad for him, but in English, if it's got a "T" in it, it's pronounced "crotch."

I must admit, I've never seen that name. I've seen "Krutch."

 

[Grey Morel]

The fact that the OP takes this so seriously is hilarious. I'm going to keep saying "HOPS".

 

[gimlet1/21]

I prefer to call it "hopes" as in, "I hope it will get the gunk out."

The OP? This has gone 4 pages. I am waiting for the first use of"you %@#& moron".

This is no lie, I talked to a very nice lady the other day named Sandy Butt.

 

[b.thomas]

I've always heard it called hoppie's or hoppy's (what ever way you spell it) since i was 4 or 5 years old by everyone including my dad. Now some 60 some odd years later, I fail to see the need to call it something else.

 

[Blakenzy]

Hoppe's. I always though it was pronounced like "ye old gun shoppe"

 

[moewadle]

What a waste of good time

why doesn't someone post some information of use? What years were the Marlin Model 99M1 .22 semiauto rifle made?

 

[toivo]

Not so fast--How do you pronounce "Marlin"? Is it like the fish? Or like Marlene Dietrich? Or like Marilyn Monroe?

This is no lie, I talked to a very nice lady the other day named Sandy Butt.

She should meet an old acquaintance of mine: Dick Bush. His choice: not Rich or Richard. No lie there either.

HAAAA! I love these threads...I admit, I am guilty...I have pronounced it "Hops" this whole time...

I think the biggest pronounciation argument was between my instructor and I trying to figure out the pronounciation of "Steyr." I always pronounced it "Stow-Yer" but I've heard "Staw" "Shh-Taw" "Staw-Yer" "Store" "Stir" and "Steer."

 

[JohnBT]

"What years were the Marlin Model 99M1 .22 semiauto rifle made?"

Mid-60s. I could look up the precise dates in the Blue Book, but that would start an argument about whether or not the Blue Book is worthless.

Or how to pronounce "Blue Book."

1964 to 1978 (http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2006/01/marlin-99m1-range-report.html)

Now how to pronounce Xavier? Is it "ZAY-v'yer" or "HAH-vee-yayr"?

 

[NoAlibi]

And the winner is...

AKElroy - "I called Heine obviously "Hay-nee", right? I mean, right?? a few weeks back to check my order; and they answered the phone Hi-nee! Just like a keister!! Freaking hilarious!! He named his company after a kiester!! Oh, gosh.....what a kneeslapper. Whooo...

Too Funny! My eyes are watering and I'm laughing so hard I can hardly catch my breath!!

Thanks AKElroy, it was a nice break from thinking about Stimulus II , Supreme Court Justice Sotomayor , Caps , ad infinitum!!!

 

[daorhgih]

Well, it IS from the French for "wooden-shoe"

"SABOT". Anyone? As in "Sabot-tage": to throw a wooden shoe into the gears. Hey JIM, don't you mean "...the first use of you %@#& maroon." As from the three stooges.
