Title: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Kojinka on July 05, 2007, 07:35:59 PM: Do you pronounce it the same way it's pronounced in the movie and cartoons, do you emphasize both syllables or do you have your own way?
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Vidgmchtr on July 05, 2007, 07:45:06 PM: "Buh-bomb".
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: BP on July 05, 2007, 08:02:10 PM: As spelled. BOB-omb.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Suffix on July 05, 2007, 08:13:30 PM: I pronounce it "bah-Bomb." I also tend to say it with a fair amount of speed.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Kojinka on July 05, 2007, 08:37:24 PM: I've always said it the way BP does, but when I watched the cartoons, a question came to mind; what is the proper pronunciation? Has the word ever been voiced in any of the games or by any other official source?
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Deezer on July 05, 2007, 08:39:14 PM: Kinda like buh-baum.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: MaxVance on July 05, 2007, 09:30:05 PM: I also pronounce it like Bird Person does. How is it pronounced in the movies and cartoons?

Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: MEGAß¥TE on July 05, 2007, 10:30:07 PM: Also, the best ad placement in a movie ever.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Kojinka on July 05, 2007, 10:49:24 PM: Greatest Bob-omb scene ever!
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: The Blue Toad on July 06, 2007, 12:08:17 AM: My first Mario experience was watching my neighbor play Super Mario 64, and he would always say "Bomb-ombs".
Ever since then I have kept to this pronunciation, despite the spelling. It simply sounds strange to me to pronounce it otherwise.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Pt_Peach on July 06, 2007, 03:33:16 AM: I stick to "Bomb-omb".

Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: The Chef on July 06, 2007, 05:47:27 AM: When I was little, I used to pronounce it "bah-boom', but in recent years I pronounce it how it's spelled.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Chupperson Weird on July 06, 2007, 10:00:25 AM: BOB-omb. None of this buh-BAWM stuff for me.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: NintendoExpert89 on July 06, 2007, 10:12:05 AM: Bahb-Ahmb
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Sapphira on July 06, 2007, 05:10:56 PM: BAH-bahm or BAHB-ahm; I say it fast enough that I can't really tell which on which syllable I pronounce the second B, but I probably pronounce it the first way since it's easier pronounce syllables that end in a vowel sound than in a consonant sound.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Robert on July 06, 2007, 05:20:07 PM: I pronounce it as "Bob", and then "awm"

Basically, I pronounce it like it's spelt.

I'm saying Bombomb too :p
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Glorb on July 07, 2007, 11:12:47 AM: I prefer the pronunciation "bada-bing".
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: goodie on July 07, 2007, 04:29:21 PM: Buh-bom.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: BriGuy92 on July 07, 2007, 05:29:00 PM: I've always pronounced it "Bomb-omb", simply because I misread it in SM64. Now it's just kind of a habit.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Koopaslaya on July 07, 2007, 06:44:54 PM: BAH-bomb

Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: SUPERTOAD! on July 09, 2007, 08:50:27 AM: At first i thought it was Bomb-ombs so i used to pronounse it like that. i find it harder to pronounce it the other ways.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: yoshimastar on July 10, 2007, 11:26:30 AM: Bom ahm
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Toad on July 10, 2007, 02:54:02 PM: I've always gone with the Oh cheese! They're exploding!! pronunciation..

But in cases where I'm not playing the games, it's either BAWB-ahmb, or baw-BAHMB (sort of like Sapph's).
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: The_Green_Brother on July 10, 2007, 05:23:43 PM: Bob-ombs, just as it says on the label.

LOOK OUT! HE'S GONNA BLOOOOOOWWWWWWW! *buh-BOMB*
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?

Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: DeadAwake on July 12, 2007, 05:19:51 PM: Am I the only one who expected Bob-ombs to be soccer-ball sized? It was disappointing when Bowser pulled out a dinky, little, tennis Bob-omb.

... Not that that was the biggest disappointment of the movie, but hey.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Kojinka on July 12, 2007, 06:35:56 PM: Hey, the small size, along with the fact that it still packed big punch, is what made the Bob-omb of the movie so awesome. That movie wasn't all that good, but it does have some redeeming factors.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: General9786 on July 12, 2007, 08:45:20 PM: I go with bomb-omb
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Vidgmchtr on July 13, 2007, 08:03:50 AM: Why do so many people pronounce it wrong? It's not spelled "bomb-omb". It never was. It's kind of like saying "bomb" but stuttering the first two letters a little.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: DeadAwake on July 14, 2007, 04:28:20 PM: ... in addition to mimicking the sound it makes when it explodes.

*bob-OMB!*

Also, I'm not saying the Bob-omb in the movie wasn't awesome. I'm saying its size was unexpected, and that made it disappointing. The smallest they get in the game series is about the size of Mario's head--and Mario's got a pretty big head.

Post by: Jack_of_Blades on July 14, 2007, 09:16:10 PM: i say bomb ombs
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: nodyarG on July 16, 2007, 08:54:45 AM: It's pronounced "BOB-OMS". Look at my last post. It will say the same thing.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Trainman on July 21, 2007, 11:42:25 AM: I say Bob-Omg, just how it's spelled... but saying it at normal speeds it sounds like bob-omb with the B from the Bob subtly carried over to Omb, kinda like "Bobomb." Grodus has trouble saying it, heh: "Buh huh huh.."

Yea. I think they should have been bigger in the movie, too.

It wasn't Bowser, btw, but Mario..
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: libra346 on November 25, 2007, 03:17:04 PM: I'd say bah-bomb
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: penguinwizard on November 26, 2007, 04:23:41 PM: Bob - omb. Hated the way Yoshi said it, as ba-bomb.

But sometimes I just call them bombs, because the extra syllable sounds like I'm stuttering.

Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: penguinwizard on December 02, 2007, 04:22:45 PM: That picture's misleading. I think the Bob-omb was the size of a human fist. Didn't it drop through a sewer gutter or something?
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: The Chef on December 02, 2007, 05:55:44 PM: It fell thought the bridge Mario and Koops were standing on, and then fell down a shaft made of fungus, which caused it to land safely in the gutter. It looked to me like it was the size of a softball or something.
Title: Re: How do you pronounce Bob-ombs?
Post by: Thorn on December 02, 2007, 11:32:40 PM: I could've sworn it was much smaller. Maybe a little smaller than a baseball.

As to how I pronounce it, I guess I pronounce it as spelled, which is actually more or less how it was pronounced in the cartoon. Case in point: skip ahead to about 1:25 in this (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nlLDjMdlbq0) clip of the Super Mario World cartoon.
