"Mary-Oh" is somewhat popular in New York as well.

"Ness" I can see, there's the main character from EarthBound like you said. Hell, there's even new NES-centric products that force you to say it as "ness". One that comes to mind is the RetroUSB CopyNES. I find it clunky to say "Copy En Ee Ess", seems more natural to say "CopyNess".

Such as the best emulator of all time NESticle

Sega should have continued using books of the bible to name their consoles in North America.

Just think...after Sega Genesis, we could have had Sega Job (32X), Sega Revelations (Saturn) and finally Sega Exodus (Dreamcast).

I just read it as Sness even though I know it's wrong. Why/When would you ever need to say it out loud though?

I say light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

But that's just me.

Here in Germany, we spell it B-R-O-T-K-A-S-T-E-N. An affectionate nobilitation, since the Ricoh 5A22 felt just as slow as the MOS Technology 6510.

He's making some stupid reference to the C64 which is sometimes call "Brotkasten" (breadbox) by people who are old and should've died together with the eighties.

I think you need to provide a translation service for Olly moving forward.

He just thinks he's clever with his little references he does all the time, but it does is making him like a pretentious faggot.

In the US, we called it a "computer".

Not some pet-name like "Breadbox".
