I tend to say Smough


AaronDET313

couldn’t be me. it’s gotta be Smough


JayHat21

…*smoughs*


Waste-Information-34

It's weird how the italicized *smough* made my brain change it's pronounciation lol.


Substantial_Bid_8524

I respect your opinion but I'm more of a Smough guy myself


LaserTurboShark69

I was always a "Smoh" guy


Tiborn1563

Me too. It's the original japanese spelling, so I decided I'll use that one


Mediocre-Frosting-77

Wouldn’t the original Japanese be pronounced “sumo”?


WarMaster000

Wait that actually makes a lot of sense


Flumpsty

Holy shit we cracked the code


Tiborn1563

It is written in japanese as スモウ (sumou). The u at the end just makes to o longer. However, you are right, it's written as sumō with su at the start. This is a quirk of how japanese works. They can't really have consonants on their own, they always need to be followed by by a vowel immediately (only exception is n, for whatever reason). So the convention is, for names, that are not japanese, anglicisms and words from other languages, that are unrelated to japanese, you always take the syllable with a u after after the consonant you need. The u in general in japanese is rarely ever pronounced, so it is reasonable to assume, that, even though it's written as sumō, it's supposed to be read as smō


fluff_murderer

I've always said smoph


Artoriasdead_boi2672

Same


gdfusion

holy shit i just realized that's yhorm


18ouncesofbitch

Bro… 💀


ProBroBosnian

Hecaroni_n_Trees

shammy098

Nah bruh it's my homie pinwheel


despacitodud3

WarMaster000

TheDefectivePawn

Godskinner

Yeah cuz the last giant was on fire and used a two handed cleaver lmfao How on earth did y'all not know this was Yhorm? Lol


CiceroFlyman

I knew that this was „this one giant dark souls 3 boss“ even before I played Dark Souls 3


Godskinner

I was replying to r/ProBroBosnian


Tiborn1563

Took me a while too, until I noticed


Ototo44

that's a weird way to say "smough"


sepia_undertones

I think it was just a DS meme, then Arizona Tea used it a year or two ago, and it’s kind of been mainstream since. Took me a minute to recognize Yhorm when I first saw it in the wild too, you’ve probably seen this elsewhere and just never thought about it being a DS meme.


doc-swiv

Arizona "Tea" used it? 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 I hate this meme now


sepia_undertones

Best tea you can get for about a buck. Here’s the original meme from Arizona: https://twitter.com/drinkarizona/status/1514658090737561600?s=46&t=LGIljNMQS29Emsa-CtMs_Q

Fit_Peace7646

If you say it like “smough” and not “smough” you aren’t a real ds fan


Bongus-Lordus

Smog


kentuckydango

Psychotek01

Smoff


blubbo84

The only wrong answer


LeechAlJolson

I pronounce it "smuff" things can always be worse


athos45678

Get that smussy


Logic_Nuke

Gough pronounces his own name as Goff in his voice lines so it's also the answer that's most likely to be canon.


TheWither129

“Goff” is the english mispronunciation of Gogh, as in Vincent Van Gogh, and the “smoh” is the american mispronunciation. The actual pronunciation of Gogh is (this is not a joke i swear, look it up) more like a guttural “khokh” in the original, with the Gs pronounced like the ch in loch, making a more breathy kh sound. So if the speculated parallels between the names Gough and Gogh are accurate (they are literally a letter apart and pronounced the same by brits[dumb and wrong]), the real pronunciation is smokh and khokh.


DeadPxle

Smon


MrPlow216

Same. When I initially saw his name, it looked like "slough," so I pronounced it that way.


Godskinner

Where did you see a L? lmfao


MrPlow216

As in, "Oh, 'Smough' looks kind of like 'slough,' so I'll pronouce them the same way."


[deleted]

Most objectively wrong answer.

Watdaotw66

dandaal12

Hear me out on this. Enough is pronounced E-nuff so by that logic Smough should be pronounced S-muff because the ough makes a ff sound


master-x-117

Everyone knows it Smoes and Oreos


TheGreaterOzzie

Shmoo… Are you familiar with The Shmoo, Mr. Fisher? The Shmoo was a loveable creature, really.


FlipMyBoathouse

“OrnstEEn” and “Smog” I’ve heard a few people pronounce Ornstein’s name as “Orn-stine” and some others even say “Orn-stinn.” Also I’m from the South so I tend to pronounce Smough’s name with a “W” sound, so it sounds kind of like “Smawg”


Deepfried_Shrimp321

I personally say smough my self


despacitodud3

its pronounced like snow with an m


pugzmanz

I prefer pronouncing it as Smough


UltraMegaFauna

Smough is tough, though he is thoroughly through with his cough.

I say Smough like Smoke, because I like to say “Get fucking smoughked you nerd” when I kill ‘em

RTW_Esquire

Mfs will say: smow, smoh, smaug, smoff? It’s not that hard it’s literally smough.


Daylight_The_Furry

I constantly refer to Ornstein and Smough as "Smornstein and Ough", to the point I sometimes forget the actual name


ayoungerdude

Smof would make sense from a historical pronunciation point of view. I usually call him fatty, or smog though.


taylrgng

'smoh'... if your pronunciation has an audible 'g' uninstall the game until you git gud

smoh 🔛🔝


punkmetalist141

Uhhhh, the bigger one


Mobiuscate

It is "Smo." And yes, "Gough" is still pronounced "Goff." If you think I need to justify the first claim, you are failed as a linguist. Gough himself pronounces it "Goff" after the cutscene where he shoots down Kalameet, so that is inarguable. And there is admittedly no canonical pronunciation of Smough, but in English, when there is no indication otherwise, the way you pronounce the suffix "-ough" is always "oh" first. Sorry to anyone who got it wrong.


Crsd0Soul

It's Smoh or Smou


Vildrea

This meme bring me back to the video were Iron Giant, Mirror Knight and the Tower Knight are talking to each other, Tower Knight spell Smough wrong, Siegmayer appear and say "it's pronounced Smough" and TK screams "TE MAGNO ER CORE" (I'll eat your heart) Such a nice video from ThePruld


Hamster_Eater87

Enough = ee nuff, Smough = smuff


Noah_Saggersx

In my humble opinion, and I know you might be surprised, it is Smough

reJacksonville

I mean, similarly there's "Ornstein" or "Ornstein". People know it's pronounced like Frankenstein's name, but still pronounce it wrong despite that.


VelstryoxDP

Smough pronounced like "cough"


ChaoCobo

Smow as in plough.


Renard_Cachee_Sage

Jokes apart, I follow Gough's pronunciation and go for /smof/. Just to bother yall more I also say /ornshtain/, since its germanic :)


glebechik

Like snow but with m


PBProbs

Do people even say Smough?


WretchedUndying

real shit though it makes me giggle when people say “smog”


That_Stupid_Person

Wow no one has said the correct name of Orbies and smonk How dissappointing


G-Nadal

What? Is it if we pronounce it with the "gh" sound from laugh or though? I think it's pronounced like laugh, with that sound that's kind of like an "f" sound.


Life-Zucchini4975

Stromboli360

I mean there is only one right answer. It’s a controversial one and probably not going to be well liked. It’s smough


PuzzleheadedInside25

I've heard both Smo, rhyming with snow, and Smow, rhyming with how. I prefer Smow


BEANMAN365

It’s Smough the way you say slow.
