Title: How do you pronounce "kibosh"?
Post by: Sir GuitarCozmo on January 24, 2017, 06:38:38 AM: I've heard this said both ways. The "ka" in option 2 is pronounced like "kazoo".

Post by: Stadler on January 24, 2017, 06:47:55 AM: I think it's sort of the second version, but more like ki-BOSH. I usually pronounce it exaggeratedly, like in the cartoons "KEE-bosh") but I don't put that out as the best official pronunciation.

Post by: hefdaddy42 on January 24, 2017, 07:08:05 AM: I have always pronounced it KY-bosh, but I have no idea if that is correct.

Ditto.

Post by: BlobVanDam on January 24, 2017, 07:34:18 AM: I don't pronounce it either way, because it's not a word I have ever used or would ever use. I think I've maybe heard it more often the first way, but it's not a word I've heard often enough to care either way how someone pronounces it.

Post by: black_biff_stadler on January 24, 2017, 08:52:27 AM: I've literally only heard ka-BOSH until reading this thread. Chris Bosh would also be acceptable.

Post by: Hyperplex on January 24, 2017, 12:06:59 PM: I've heard both. For some reason i like KY-bosh more, but I have no reason for that. I know Al Michaels says ki-BOSH on some of the Sunday Night Football telecasts, but an old boss I had said KY-bosh. I honeslty haven't a clue because I don't really use it much myself.

koo-pon

Short of the French pronunciation of the word (since that's the origin), that's the closest approximation.
