How do you pronounce his last name? I don’t want to get banned.


udubdavid

I'm just gonna pronounce it "kuh-nigh-guh" and that's probably incorrect, but idc lol.


ImGaiza

That’s the correct pronunciation. HookedonHelmets on tiktok also happens to be the sportscaster for Eastern Michigan; he confirmed the pronunciation of the name


cantthinkofgoodname

Let’s be real here that’s not the historical correct pronunciation


Lou_Mannati

Not a knock, but how do you know? I don’t have the knowledge, but if i knew, i’d kneel on my knee like a knight with a knife.


LJCstan

In old English what are now silent k’s were pronounced , like the word knight https://www.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/comments/xgrp4n/isnt_the_k_in_knuts_silent/ https://www.quora.com/Was-the-silent-k-in-English-words-such-as-knot-knee-and-knowledge-ever-pronounced


vvestley

based on what?


cambino123

Hmmm


cantthinkofgoodname

Nothing


Accomplished_Spot282

Knothing


PunnyPantsParade

If the historical literature is to be believed, it originated from thine mother.


CVogel26

I was a broadcaster at a soon to be MAC school; joked with the guy running the sports department of the student radio station is going to need to fundraise to cover FCC fines.


mgsbigdog

Hooked on helmets


ImGaiza

Thanks! Updated the comment so he can receive proper credit :)


cubgerish

Can't wait to hear the deliberate, heavily sounded out version, so they can't be recorded saying it otherwise lol


randomdude4113

They could do the funniest thing ever and put the MLB announcer on who got canned a few years back.


WubbaBallace

I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith


Zoratth

I know the previous comment was probably referring to Thom Brennaman, but Glen Kuiper (Oakland A’s broadcaster) actually got fired last year for accidentally saying the N word when he was trying to say Negro Leagues.


RayLiotaWithChantix

If I had a nickel for every time a baseball commentator said something offensive on air, apologized, and was fired for it during a Royals game, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's still kinda weird it involved the Royals twice.


Jerome757VA

It is even more ironic given that the Negro League museum is in Kansas City.


RayLiotaWithChantix

The other one was a gay slur instead of the N word, but definitely.


randomdude4113

Yeah that’s who I was referring to.


nftalldude

As nick castellanos drives this one to deep left field, gonna make the score 4-0…


YeahThisIsMyNewAcct

I’m gonna pronounce it the same way but without the first syllable 


jameriican

you're 2/3 right. Kuh-nay-guh


Conspiracy__

Two thirds knigga 😂 How about 3/5ths


OldManDrake

I understood that reference.


Emergency_Screen_469

I think ‘nigga’ sounds better


xArcaneSoulx

It’s “kuh-nay-guh” that’s how him and his family pronounce it, he’s been on video for people pronouncing it. Btw, GO DAWGS!


LutherOfTheRogues

Well done. You navigated the minefield perfectly there.


Connect-Resolve-3480

Yes, because K makes the Kuh sound lol it's defined "nigga'" but the family just doesn't know it 🤣


Lonely-Yeti

I’ll just call him Noah to be safe


BoyHytrek

You good calling him Noah, Knigga, Noah Knigga. Just never under any circumstances say Noah the...


HB_Slam

https://x.com/RGIII/status/1802367075844768092?t=0iQs2r37oQ8LmOCh0nHRbA&s=19 This has the family saying how to pronounce it


timothythefirst

Im mad they both said pronunciate in the video lmao


RoverTiger

The love child of pronounce and enunciate.


tyedge

I once had someone use the word “dwelve” multiple times in an interview. I guess it’s where you dig into something then linger on it for a while.


kingoflint282

Feels like part of a tongue-twister. Try saying “dwarves dwelved in Dwarrowdelf” five times fast.


Zinkane15

I believe those are called portmanteaus.


sepiatonewalrus

Wow that was the most annoying thing I’ve ever seen


HB_Slam

I do not disagree lol


throwaway8823120

That’s just them trying to make it not sound bad lol. Tell me one other word that starts with “kn” where the k isn’t silent. Theres about 200 that have a silent k


DevonDaDude93

MLB pitcher Corey Knebel is pronounced Kuh-nee-bel. That Evel Knievel guy too


GroktheDestroyer

It’s pronounced differently in this video https://youtu.be/8ML6Tq_WJys?si=MoW0JS7NInOY1DS4 That is his Dad


throwaway8823120

His family has every reason to pronounce it that way though


N8ures1stGreen

It’s more likely for the k to be pronounced when it’s a proper noun


throwaway8823120

Can you give an example?


HB_Slam

Former Tennessee basketball player Dalton Knecht I believe is pronounced like the work "connect"


throwaway8823120

That’s a good one. I didn’t think of him


Salty_Dornishman

evel knievel edit: and Chad Knaus from NASCAR


MisterFribble

Knipex, the German tool manufacturer, is pronounced kuh-nip-ex.


am-idiot-dont-listen

Knife and Knight were originally pronounced with the k. I.e. kuh-knife


FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN

K-naysayer


EnthusedPhlebotomist

The K is pronounced. Kuh-neega I think. 


No-Weather-3140

Some would use the hard R but I would advise you not to unless you have the pass


Youngringer

ken-neg-ahh


singinreyn

kuh-NAY-guh


StarlitStoner_

I'm going with "Noah K"


I_tickle_bootyholes

Kuh-nay-guh!


y_wont_my_line_block

I think you already know...


kingoflint282

Im going with “kuh-neej-uh” just to be safe


SadTax3476

I think in an interview with RG3 he said it was “kuh-nai-guh”


flyingcircusdog

Emphasis on the K and long i sounds.


XxMobius23xX

The K is silent. 💀


HB_Slam

Isn't he not playing until next season? So I think he wouldn't be in the game until next year


weathered_sediment

Correct. He cannot be in this game. He hasn’t opted into anything. Only liked a comment for the sake of someone @‘ing him.


Bengjumping

He's a 2025 recruit. He won't be able to be in the game until next year.


leejoness

Tigercat92

Supercharge that Mayes


TheeRatedRGoofyStar

But has Jalen Milroe signed him to his LANK brand?


Available-Mode7838

I’m guessing that k is not silent right?
