Curious... how do you pronounce niche?

[netbert]

Your above quote is illogical.

You're saying that "ICHE" should be pronounced as "EESH" every-fucking-time, assuming there are no exceptions. Then should I pronounce BUT, CUT, HUT & PUT in the same way?

Now if PUT can be different from BUT, CUT & HUT, then NICHE can be different from QUICHE or MICROFICHE. Whats the big deal?

Nice try, but your counterpoint doesn't even make sense, and no, he's not saying that.

Quiche, -fiche and niche are all derived from French (prior to English), and are all pronounced the same in French. Adopting those same words but then creating inconsistent pronunciations is illogical.

Nitch, bitch!

Then I guess that means I'm from "Daytwah", not Detroit.

Maybe that's what's needed to revitalize Detroit. Make it sound French and it immediately becomes classy. Like Tarzhay for Target.

The Daytwah Pistowns!

Like it!

Well then, you haven't properly introduced yourself.

You have a spoon yes?

The Sopranos episode comes to mind, where Tony and AJ discussed religion, and AJ mentioned a German philosopher 'Nitch'
