NITCH sounds like something I do while shaving. As in "OUCH look at this fucking huge NITCH in my face I made with this cheap ass razor blade!"

It's pronounced NITCH, you god damn foreigners!

Neesh :glugglug

bet some of you ray 'ruff' too instead of roof

ch as in cheese.
Or do you guys pronounce it sheese?

American born and raised motherfucker.
NEESH. How come BITCH isn't spelled BICHE then Einstien?

Um I said SILENT E and at the END of a word the CHE is CHEESE is at the FRONT you nimrod. And the E isn't silent. Did everyone here fail remedial english in HS?

neesh

Step off, biche.

The dictionary was no help at all, having both the correct and incorrect pronunciations. :(

listen to the audio!

I forgot to put a smily at the end of that. No need for name-calling.:glugglug

Sorry. Still I enjoy using the word nimrod many times a day.

"Nitch"

NIMROD.

NEESH. Suck it BITCHES!

Why you gotta bring that shit up for? :sadcrying

The CORRECT pronunciation remains 'neesh'. Taking something and bastardizing it doesn't suddenly make it correct. But then WTF - it was done with much of the rest of the English language so why stop at yet another word?

And yep - stolen off the French which only goes to prove how it should be pronounced. :)

So it's "neesh" if you want to talk like a French nancy-boy or "nitch" if you want to sound like a tough, rugged American. The choice is yours.

No you prononce it nitch if you're a self lothing closted fag who is also a retard.

So we agree on nitch? :winkwink:

No we agree you hate the fact you love semen sausage up your mangina.

According to several dictionary sources, NITCH is the most common pronunciation (because it is listed first).

I pronounce it as NITCH, while foreigners or canucks pronounce it as NEESH.

Strange.

I guess there's an abundance of "self lothing closted fag who is also a retard"s around:glugglug

Apparently, you do not know the English language too well.

the "ch" is generally pronounced like a "itch" sound.

Got any ICQ numbers? :Graucho

Yeah and 60 million retards voted for Bush and watch American Idol.

So pronounce CHACHE and CLICHE.

Do you pronounce ache "ash"?

There are no hard rules to the english language.

Pronounce CHAIR
Pronounce CHOIR

Sorry, but I'm going to have to side with Mirriam Webster over you on this one, has nothing to do with the millions of idiots who voted for Bush.:winkwink:

i pronounce it Nietzsche

So can we declare this thread as dead as God?

ache isn't a french word.

Maybe not dead, but resolved:glugglug

Yes, but notice there is a "T" in "itch". Not in niche.

That's why we pronounce stitch as stitch. But mustache is pronounced mustash rather than mustitch.

Well I guess if you have and ICHE to call it NITCH then HICHE your BICHE ass on the horse you rode in on and go on. And please do not PICHE a fit over this and DICHE any civility you have by acting like a WICHE. Hopefully this won't tear the board part otherwise we'll have to STICHE it back together somehow.

I've certainly never heard it pronounced mustitch:winkwink:

It's originally a french word. It's pronounced Neesh. Period.

When a 'che' is at the END of a word it's usually pronounced "sh". For instance mustache.

When a 'che' is at the BEGINNING of a word it's usually prounounced "ch' as in chestnut.

When a 'tch' is at the END of a word it's usually pronounced 'ch' as in pitch.

It's niche, not nitch, so it would be pronounced NEESH, if spoken 'correctly'.

Hmmmm

mustaCHE
cliCHE
caCHE

all have the SH sound to me.

That's ritch

...or is that riche:glugglug

Exactly

I pronounce it "Niche"

(neesh)

Please tell me Americans don't pronounce quiche "Kitch"? :1orglaugh

Douche

did someone slap all the americans with the idiot stick again?

Or did they forget that they aren't right all the time. (See "election 2004").

Or is it

DOOTCH

they have consonants before the CH not vowels.

Neither are Brits. (see "empire")
