Poll: Pronouncing 'The Escapist'

[scorptatious]

I wasn't aware there were other ways to pronounce "The Escapist".

Is your friend good mates with Nemo?

 

[The Shadowlord]

Ess-Kay-Pissed.

Easy as 1-2-3. I'm surprised there even is a variation.

 

[Jedamethis]

The 'Scapist. Though I rarely say it out loud...

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

Is he mocking Dory from Finding Nemo? Es-Cah-Pay?

Maybe he is doing something like I do with Chocobo... I hate the correct pronounciation of that, and have always pronounced it 'Cocoa-bo' in protest!! Its something that me and my sister have always done, as we thought it made them sound grander, and less like a piss take!
Unfortunately that also means I don't really like the parts of the series that have voiceovers... I don't like hearing the word any other way!!

 

[Jadak]

The Es-Cape-Pissed

That is how I pronounce it for you.

Which is wrong, there's no second 'p' sound after the cape....

[lacktheknack]

Whoops, I accidentally the wrong button. I say "Escape - ist".

 

[Zen Toombs]

....The. Escape. Ist. There's another way to say that? asks Toombs incredulously.

EDIT: I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT FINDING NEMO! [bolts off to watch it]

:3 I love Dory....

 

[DanielBrown]

Na-za-thist

No, but what the hell? Escape-ist.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Throat Wobbler Mangrove - just as it's spelt.

 

[Crazy]

The Es-Cape-Pissed

That is how I pronounce it for you.

No, you're wrong. There will always be a silent p. Always.

 

[Erana]

The 'Scapist. Though I rarely say it out loud...

Same here. The 'Scapist is the 'Scapist. "Skay-Pist."

 

[Section Crow]

ih-skey-pizt

that's how you pronounce the word and being the smart people they are, the creators pronounce it like that

 

[octafish]

Your friend puts the em-PHA-sis on the wrong sy-LLA-ble.

You know until I played X that was one I changed often. Chalk-ko-bo was my way of pronounincing it. Of course the l is silent... Teefa or Tiffa? The one that me and my friend still can't seem to agree on is Ocarina. Aw-ka-ree-na(me) or Oh-keer-ra-na(him).

 

[Kapol]

S-K-Pissed. That' how I pronounce it. I'm surprised people prounounce it any other way to be honest. It seems pretty straight-forward. Escape with ist on the end. But oh well.

 

[TheLastSamurai14]

As in Es-Cah-Pist or Es-Cay-pist.

Because it's really an emphasis thing there. But Escape-ist is correct.

It's not as bad as a girl I know who called Rune Scape "Run Escape" when we were like 13.

My reaction included a stunned silence and laughing.

To be fair, most people want to do that after playing about a minute of it.

OT: Es-cay-pist. Not much simpler than that, I'm afraid. Though I did have a friend who pronounced it "E Escapist" because of the stylized E in the logo.

The truth of the matter is that I often say "zero punctuation" rather than the escapist, simply because it was the first show that brought me here, though it's no longer the only show I watch here. I even usually google "zero punctuation" even when I plan to watch loading ready run or something else.

When I actually say the escapist I do obviously say escape-ist
