While listening to the latest RetroforceGo episode, one of the listener questions really bugged me. It was the question about how to pronounce "chocobo".

Of course we all know it's pronounced CHOC-obo but the mispronounced way of cho-CO-bo really just stuck in my head for some reason. I couldn't really figure out why it sounded so weird until I remembered Jacoby & Meyers! You know...those lawyers on TV? (or at least in NY they are).

So, Ja-CO-by...cho-CO-bo...pretty similar sounding, no? Well that got me thinking...they already have Chocobo's Dungeon so why can't our yellow feathered friend branch out and star in other types of games? There's already one ace attorney named after a mythical bird...why not stir up the competition a little?



OBJECTION!
KWEH!
HOLD IT!
WARK!

aw yeah...that would be sweet.

I used to pronounce it CO-CO-BO when I was a kid and before games had voice-overs...
For some reason I always thought of choco-pies whenever I saw chocobo
I think choke-obo sounds lame and I'd rather say cho-co-bo
Nice banner.
Best picture ever. Yeah though, it's CHOcobo in my mind. The way they actually say the word in the games is good enough for me.
I've always said it like, choke-a-bo.
Choke-co-bo is the only pronunciation thats ever made sense to me. Some people insist on Choc-co-boo as in Chocolate.

Tomatoes, tomatos, lets call the whole thing off.
I say Choco-bo, which might sound the same as Cho-co-bo... I dunno, its confusing when you read it a million times, but in FFT when there's moves like Choco-Cure and stuff, I figured Choco-bo was right, which may or may not sound like Cho-co-bo.
CHICKA-BOO

also cute image

like really fuckin cute
CHO-cabo

also, lol at Chocobo and Meyers
I say pronunciation is in the mouth of the speaker.

Also, cocks.
Is Wayne Brady gonna hafta chocobo?
