The Whole Gang

Chapter 13: Pronunciation

Wayne: Hey, guys!

Megamind: Ugh, you again.

Wayne: Roxie, check out this funny .GIF I found!

Roxanne: It’s pronounced 'jif'.

Wayne: Huh?

Roxanne: 'Dot jif', like the peanut butter. The creator said so.

Wayne: That’s dumb, it’s Graphics Interchange Format.

Megamind: Since when do you know stuff like that?

Roxanne: The P in .JPEG stands for 'photographic', but I bet you don’t say 'J-pheg'.

Megamind: Wait, it's not pronounced j-ph–?

Wayne: 'P' on its own doesn't sound like 'F', that’s totally different!

Roxanne: It’s exactly the same!

Wayne: Name one word that starts with 'G' pronounced like 'J'.

Megamind: Gyrosc–

Roxanne: Gentrification.

Wayne: Shoot, should have thought of that. I was just in San Francisco.

Roxanne: For your logic to be consistent, you’d have to say 'skuh-bah' or 'lah-seer'!

Megamind: Hey, that's–

Wayne: Yeah? Well, you’d have to say 'J-pej'!

Wayne: …Wait, 'laser' is an acronym?

Megamind: I'm not even going to try with this one.

Roxanne: Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Wayne: Huh. Didn’t know that.

Wayne: You’re still wrong, though.

Roxanne: You just hate me because I’m right.

Wayne: I just hate you in general.

Megamind: You don't hate her at all!

Roxanne: You mean in 'geh-neral'?

Wayne: Ugh, I’m 'joing' to get you for that!

Megamind: ...

Megamind: Fuck you both.

Minion: Sir, I don't think they're doing it on purpose.

Roxanne and Wayne: We are.
