I am a unicyclist but I have never talked to one in person. I read and use many common uni terms but recently realized that I don't really know if I am pronouncing them correctly.
Some of the words I am wondering about are:
Uni MUni <---- Mostly this one. Coker
I'm pretty sure about most of these but I just wanted to make sure.
Any others you want to add would be great.

i dunno the correct way of saying them, as i too have never talked with another unicyclist in person (or is it unicycler?). this is just how i pronounce them in my head.
uni -- you knee
muni -- mew knee (not moo knee)
coker -- coke errr, as in rhymes with super soaker. (how else would you pronounce it?)

Thanks,
It is good to know that I have been pronouncing these terms correctly when telling my friends about them.
As always, you guys are the best.

More importantly, how in the -world- are you supposed to pronounce "Qu-ax?"
Quacks?
Kwuh-Axe?
I've been bothered by this since I started visiting these forums.
