Pronounce CICO
Replies

I'm a "see-ko" as well. And honestly, until you asked it hadn't occurred to me that it would be read any other way. But I tend to hate acronyms with a fiery passion (unless they're very familiar I have a hard time figuring out what they're supposed to stand for) so I guess I automatically wordify any that will let me.
I'm a wordifier too. There are so many see-ko people and I didn't even think of it as a possibility!1 -
Riiiiiiicola.
Oh, wait.
nvm.
Yeah, see-co.1 -
k(eye) k(oh)
Both the C's pronounced like a hard K sound. Long I, long O. And...I guess I'm the only one... But I've never said it out loud, only in my head.5 -

This made me laugh until tears were streaming down my face.
When reading along, I say SEE-KOOOO.2 -
Keee Koh. The contintental european sound for the letter 'i' factored into that way of pronouncing it I think.1
-
It's See-Co in my head!1

Kie koh (hard "c", long vowel sounds)1

What? No love for Chico?2

I always said see-eye-see oh too, or calories in calories out.

Um...I don't pronounce the abbreviation. I only type it. That would be weird.
Ah yes. That's why when I always say Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome when discussing AIDS, because just saying "aids" would be weird.
I'm an outlier, I guess. I always pronounce it ky-koh. Just what my brain wants to turn it into for whatever reason.2 -

Me too. KEY CO.
Same.2 -
Interesting question/answers. I don't pronounce it at all. Never say it aloud, and I don't pronounce words when reading them. (But in my head TDEE is just the letters and NEAT is said as a word.) If I were to talk about the concept I'd probably say "calories in, calories out"--CICO is just an internet forum abbreviation. Similarly, I use state abbreviations here all the time, but when I see/use MA I think Massachusetts, not "mah."1

Well, it would fit. The look on your cat's face suggests the bear is about to lose it's head. Love that new avi, BTW.1 -

I say it Kye-Koh in my head when i see it.1

What about PHUL? I have said this out loud, always as "Pee-hull" and then wondered if I've made a gaff.1
