Ok, going for full controversy here. zsh = “zoosh” ssh = “shoosh” sudo = sue-dough

Before you achktually me, I know it’s supposed to be “sue-DO”, because the acronym stands for “superuser do”, but for the life of me, when I see those letters together it just seems wrong to pronounce it that way.

At work we all pronounce zsh “zish” like dish but with a z.

sudo is sue-doo, not sue-dough or pseudo

SSH is just s-s-h

For me, zsh is pronounced “bash.”

(One-upping your “full controversy,” LOL)

It’s “zed” because Brits know that it came from “zeta,” which has no “d” in it. That’s also why they don’t say “ay bee see dee eee eff jee”, they say “al bed cam del epp dye gam.”

Ok, thanks for the info GayHitler420 🫡

Just out of curiosity, are there 419 other gay Hitlers out there, or is that just a weed reference? 'Cause I don’t know if I could deal with that many gay Hitlers running around.

I mean, just to be clear, it’s the Hitler part and not the gay part that bothers me. And the weed part is cool with me too, but it would be hard to be a Hitler if you’re just chillin on weed every day.

It would be extremely difficult to conquer the Sudetenland if you had the munchies constantly.

Man, don’t worry I’m changed man. Now I’m conquering countries in my head while I’m high from 20 kg of weed and 2 tons of pure medical cocaine.
