I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how to pronounce "penes."

I pronounce it "peenies"

Man, I'm gonna start using Octopodes just to be a douche.

My reaction as well.

I can academically appreciate and understand all of this, but if I start throwing around "octopodes" I'll have to explain myself, and since I'm not that autistic guy from Numb3rs, I don't relish in explaining myself after every fucking sentence.

This video taught me I was not pronouncing "octopodes" correctly.

Were you saying "octopods"? That's what I've been doing.

kingofthenothing

- 2011-01-06

probably "octo - podes".

How often would this actually come up in conversation?

dead_cat

Definitely. It seems I was using the correct plural, but an English pronunciation.

Same here. Now I have to wonder how "platypodes" is supposed to be pronounced. "Plah-TIE-poh-dees?"

pastorofmuppets

I'm also in that camp, but thankfully I had the good sense to never say octopodes in front of anyone.

Woke up in a cold sweat last night because I think I've been mispronouncing the antipode tech in chrono trigger for decades

You guys should read Takeourwordforit.
It's got all kinds of this stuff in it.

Damn.

Casanova Frankenstein?

Octopussy.

Blaise

It sounds like anything goes with the plural of this word so I'm going to continue using octocunts.

Rape Van Winkle

An octopus has 8 arms, not 8 legs. Stupid cunt.

Don't you fucking dare talk to Kory that way

Be polite to the nice lady, you jackass. Anyway, as far as she's concerned, "pus" is ancient Greek for "foot" (cf: Oedipus).

rawelkij

Greeks for some reason could not pronounce an "s" sound after a "d," so "d" + "s" becomes becomes just "s," though the stem is "pod."

Learn some goddamn manners!

The next time you go diving with a friend and he corrects your grammar, rip his hose.

Take my stars... please.

She needs all that smart banged right out of her so she can think more about purses and shoes and less about the declension of marine life nomenclature.

Since when do we let DICTIONARIES decide our language mechanics?

Every time she said "ignorant slob" I *know* she said "ignorant slob" but I kept hearing "ignorant slut" and that made this video magnificent.

Robin Kestrel

Me too. I blame Dan Akroyd.

Evilhead

If I ever try to tell someone this they never believe me. Now I have a link to rub it in with. (I'm an English teacher by the way, so there are a few cases were this actually comes up in class/conversation, but I'm still probably a douche.)

Hooker

My friends are the kind of people that would throw a fit if they heard someone say octopuses. I need better friends.

Oktay

- 2011-01-07

What is the plural of octopodes then?

Caminante Nocturno - 2011-01-07

Octopodes.

Oktay - 2011-01-07

You mean the singular is spelled the same as the plural? Or is the singular octopode? Yes, I'm an ignorant slob.

heyitslozeau

I have a crush.

Nyms Lives!

- 2011-01-09

Me and my trained group of octopuses will fight you for her!

So what's the plural of "Octopussy"?

And what's the plural of "Quantum of Solace"?
