http://www.businessballs.com/clichesorigins.htm

"niche - segment or small area, usually meaning suitable for business specialisation - the use of the word 'niche' was popularised by the 19th century expression 'a niche in the temple of fame' which referred to the Pantheon, originally a church in Paris (not the Pantheon in Rome). It was built 1754-80 and converted in 1791 to hold the remains of famous Frenchmen; a 'niche' was a small alcove containing a monument to a person's name and deeds. The French word 'nicher' means 'to make a nest'."

The word "niche" is originally French. And "neesh" is how it's prounounced by French speakers, consequently making it the correct way.

Arousal Design · 03-27-2005, 10:03 PM

jonpotz · 03-27-2005, 10:09 PM

neesh sounds way to much like keesh. we ain't talkin food here

its nitch and the E is silent.

look it up in a dictionary and you can say it both ways, but even then, its still NITCH.

CLITCHY

ITG-Obi · 03-27-2005, 11:47 PM

by IPA(International Phonetic Alphabet) the pronunciation should be: 'nich, ÷'nEsh

so it can either be "neeesh" or "nitch"... you're all correct

Project-Shadow · 03-28-2005, 12:07 AM

Neeeeeeesh.

Dalai lama · 03-28-2005, 12:08 AM

jonpotz · 03-28-2005, 12:33 AM

i honestly think if i ever met any of you at a convention or party and we started talking business and you dropped the word "neesh", I would be weirded out.

its either nitch or neesh.

if you look in the dictionary the FIRST pronunciation of niche is NITCH.

the SECOND pronunciation is NEESH.

SO...What does this show us?

If you are a leader you say NITCH.

If your a follower go ahead and NEESH.

eroswebmaster · 03-28-2005, 12:49 AM

If I'm around friends it's NITCH...but if I"m around a bunch of nancy boy euro trash wannabes...then it's neeeeesh.

'neesh' if you're speaking proper english and don't want to sound like a backwater hick.

psyko514 · 03-28-2005, 12:55 AM

I say "neesh", but only because I know that's the proper way.
