that is a gyroscope they are talking about, not a gyro food item which is properly pronounced ee-ro

Then some grunting noises, drooling, and gutteral grunts.

**mrwilson** · 10-31-2008, 12:17 AM

**Warren** · 10-31-2008, 12:17 AM

ji-ro with a "J"

Always known it to be pronounced that way. two of my friends own greek restraunts in London, which I used to eat at quite often.

**Alky** · 10-31-2008, 12:57 AM

**bloggingseo** · 10-31-2008, 05:09 AM

This whole thread made me LOL

**Fuckin Bill** · 10-31-2008, 05:16 AM

In some places it's a hero, other's a gyro, others a grinder, others a sub (or submarine sandwich) You hear all 4 in the NY/PA/NJ area.

**Joe BrainCash** · 10-31-2008, 05:27 AM

Juicy, I'm in Montreal and have always said Ji-ro, so it means that yuo probably have 5 testicules!! ;)

Since when do NYers care about how other people pronounce things? Just tell them that's how you say it in NY and NYers are always right. Geez...you travel too much and trying to appease the natives. Just tell them the right way to do things and make them adapt to you, not the other way around.
