"Gooey", or "G-U-I"?

[Tripacer99]

Just wanted to know how you pronounce different computer-related abbreviations.

I pronounce the following as:

GUI= G-U-I
SATA= Say Tuh
.gif= jiff
SQL= S-Q-L
SCSI= Scuzzy
JPG/JPEG= J-P-G/Jay Peg

I think most people pronounce SQL as sequel, and i have now idea why anyone would pronounce a g as j.

Microsoft Sequel server here
Choosy mothers choose jiff....I say giff

Pretty much everybody I've worked with:

GUI= Gooey
SATA= Say Tuh (say WHAT???)
.gif= giff as in giraffe without the "ra"
SQL= sequel
SCSI= scussy

As always, YMMV

Those who use it say S- Q - L. Separates the men from the boys. Especially from the scuzzy ones.

I will only buy Jif. Tastes more like fresh roasted peanuts. And it's gooey.

And SATA is some kind of Jewish dinner party.

Just had to Google what jif is to you guys over the pond with you saying 'Tates more like fresh roasted peanuts', Didn't realize it's creamy peanut butter over there...


To us in the UK, it's either a very sour lemon juice for putting on pancakes..


..or a few year back it was the name of a cleaning fluid. (Now called Cif, which sounds more like a nickname for a STD! )

LOL Funny replies.

GUI is spelled like that, but the official pronunceation is indeed Gooey. Like a Geoduck.

SATA, I usually say as Sat-uh, but sometimes I say Serial A.T.A.
.gif is g.i.f. like gift without a T.
SQL is S.Q.L.
SCSI, S.C.S.I.

and LOL I always say as one word, like a lull, but with an O.

[z3r010]

GUI= G-U-I
SATA= SA-TA
.gif= Giff
SQL= S-Q-L
SCSI= Scuzzy

 

[DJG]

OK, so you G.U.Y.S. wanna have some JIFFs this SATA-DAY-NIGHT??? And don't be scuzzy - take a shower. This is starting to sound like a bad movie SQL ...

 

[raj11650]

GUI= G-U-I
SATA= Sa Ta
.gif= jiff
SQL= S-Q-L
SCSI= Scuzzy

 

[Cam]

GUI = User Interface or just "Gee You Eye"
GIF = Jiff
JPG/JPEG = Jay Pee Gee/Jay Pee Ee Gee
SATA = Sa (Like in Saturday) Ta (Like in Today)

 

[darkassain]

GUI= G-U-I
SATA= SA-TA
.gif= Giff
SQL= S-Q-L
SCSI= Scuzzy

yep thats how i grew up saying them...
except for GUI, i just say Gooey (that is actually how most PC books say it..)

 

[mickey megabyte]

GUI = G-U-I (the alternative makes me feel all gooey, but not nicely gooey)
SATA = sarter (like barter, with long southern english 'a')
gif = i always call them gifs, but i know it should be jiff
SQL = SQL (i hate the alternative!)
SCSI = scuzzy (i love that word)
JPG = jay peg

others:

png = ping
vista = vista (short 'i' - but i've heard a lot of people say 'veesta' - as in 'hasta la...")
IDE = I D E (but i have heard ide, as in 'lied')
pdf file = michael jackson

 

[Antman]

...that is actually how most PC books say it...

Talking books, that is.

You guys better pronounce this the right way (ie: my way) or I shall taunt you a second time!

And if you get the ones in bold wrong, I will taunt you a third time!

GUI = Goey
SATA = Sāt-ah
.gif = Giff (with a hard G sound)
SQL = See-Quill
SCSI = Scuzzy
JPG/JPEG = Jāy-Peg

And others...

MPEG/MPG = M-Peg
DivX = Div-Ex

PATA = Pāt-ah
IDE = I-D-E
UltraATA/ATA = Ul-tra-A-T-A/A-T-A
RAM = Ram
ISA = Eye-sah
Cache = Kāsh
IOPS = Eye-ops

Linux = Lĭn-ŭx
UNIX = You-nix
GNU = Gah-new

C# = See-Sharp
C++ = See-Plus-Plus
AJAX = A-Jacks
.NET = Dot-Net

And if you're a priate, just change every syllable to "Arrr".

Although its spelled giraffe you pronounce it jiraffe, so you actually call it a jiff then?

GUI= G.U.I.
SATA= Sah Tah
.gif= gif
SQL= S.Q.L.
SCSI= S.C.S.I.

I lead a pretty boring life

 

[srq2625]

GUI ==> Gooey
SATA ==> Serial ATA
.gif ==> gif(as in golf)
SQL ==> Sequal Server when referencing the RDMS, "S" "Q" "L" when talking about query language, etc
SCSI ==> scuzzy
JPG/JPEG ==> J-Peg
MGP/MPEG ==> M-Peg
IDE ==> I D E
RAM ==> ram
ISA ==> I S A
cache ==> kash
C# ==> See-Sharp
C++ ==> See-Plus-Plus
.Net ==> Dot-Net

Ah! Excellent clarification.

I usually refer to the language as S-Q-L too, as in Transact S-Q-L. Most of my work is done with mentioning the server, though, as in 'Sea-quill' (or "Sequal") server.

Yes, I will second that. Although I have asked people before, "did you perform a sequel query and if so, what was the result. However, if I was giving a person something to use within query analyzer, I would say, S Q L select....
