Hmoob?

[kikimm]

We (my family) were in a drive-through bank. When it came time to select the language, there was a choice called "Hmoob". Maybe I'm just another ignorant american, but I really don't know what this is, and neither did anyone else in my family. Any ideas?


:D

Aha, okay. Maybe this was more widely known than i thought. Thank you!


:D

[Doomgaze]

Yeah, right. We both just looked it up and you know it.

[kikimm]

Good. ;) That makes me feel not so stupid.


:D

Wow, I've never heard of that.

[DeBlayde]

i thought it was a new slang term for something that is dirty.

[Doomgaze]

*licks your Hmoob*

[Shlup]

People who are different then me are strange.

[DeBlayde]

hey now! my Hmoob is none of your business. so keep your overlarge tongue well away from my Hmoob.


hmmm. just doesn't roll off the tongue too well, does it.... :rolleyes2

[kikimm]

how would you pronononouce that? i keep on saying H--moob, but i know that's not it. hehmoob? hmmm...


:D

[Doomgaze]

h'moob, I guess.

[DeBlayde]

now matter how you try and say it, it just don't slide easily off the tongue. But, if you say it to your Granny, bet you a Benjamin she'll beat you with the nearest item-suitable-for-beating.

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

I'll take that bet.

[kikimm]

I've heared weird language names before, but this takes the case. xD


how would you pronononouce that?

I say "Moob," silent H. >_>

[Baloki]

I misread that title as hummmm noob...

[omnitarian]

I believe it's pronounced "mung".

[Psychotic]

I think it's pronounced "boobs". Go up to someone and ask them if "boobs" rolls off their tongue. Please?

[Rye]

I thought that it was a slang term for boobs too. xD
