Oh, there isn’t really a vowel since the I is silent (as is the P, while the ng is nasalized).
I hope the creators some day announce that it’s pronounced phung.

I think @OtherMichael should rename this thread to “Nerd words that were never meant to be pronounced, but get argued over anyway”

I remember when the Apple tools tried to convince everyone that the SCSI interface, which had been pronounced SKUZ-ee pretty much since day 1, should instead be pronounced “sexy”, because they couldn’t handle the idea that Apple is associated with anything “scuzzy”. They failed. Idiots.

Some people have called it nerd crap. That’s what I’ve heard. You be the judge if it is nerd crap or not. He’s lying, you know. He’s the biggest liar up here. I’m not calling him a liar; it’s just what I’ve heard. People have said he’s a big liar, so if it is nerd crap he could be lying. That’s not what I think; it’s just what I’ve heard, that he’s a liar, lying about nerd crap.

Technically, USA is an initialism. Much like BBC, CPU, and NSA.
