Title: Scrambled Eggs Savior Pronounciations.
Post by: HouWarrior on March 14, 2011, 08:04:01 PM
Since it seems to grate their fans to no end...I am practicing saying "eggs savior" all this week.

On their board they tried to clarify by saying the X is silent..

.."CoachChrisMack

Hey @TheJetOnTNT, Xavier is pronounced like you say the word Xylophone, the X is silent. Got to educate the NBA guys!!

good to see it annoys mack as much as everyone else...."

Really?
....the X is silent?

If its silent wouldnt we say "A V er", ....defined as:
i)one who is in in charge of a bird refuge...ie aviary;or
 ii) the nerdy kid who delivered the AV equipment to your classroom.

Eggs Savior alums-- may I suggest an easier shortcut.

Why not just clarify to the world that the university's name actually came from the Spanish bandleader, who later married the cu chi cu chi girl Charo.....

Xavier Cugat.

Good point.  I think the founders just didn't know how to spell using the letter Z yet...Zavier.  It's not a silent X, it's just an X that should have been a Z.

lol

Reminds me of Isaih Thomas introducing Bob Knight at an awards banquet and proceeding to tell the room of reporters that Knight used to call the players "Sunts, with a silent C." Knight's face was priceless!

Sounds like a good MU poster to hold up behind Coach Mack's bench (assuming we WIN).....

"You're right coach:
THE "X" IS SILENT"

Rosiaks twitter says that the cincy media is bombarding JFB with questions about Holloway and he keeps calling Xavier "X-avier".

QuoteButler keeps saying X-avier. I know that drives Musky fans nuts. Psychological warfare? #MUBB
