  1. 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.

    Uni and MUni rhyme with each other and also with the word loony. Coker
    is just like the soda with an "r" at the end.

  4. 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?)

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
