How do you pronounce MOC, AFOL?

[Ricecracker]

MOC as in sock

and afol as in "a fall"

[Lt. Veers]

I voted MOC rhymes with sock and AFOL is spelled out.

[Username_Taken]

Err... I guess I'm the only one who pronounces MOC like moke. (rhymes with poke). I also say AFOL as the letters A.F.O.L

Same

[maiq the liar]

Ma:wk

( a : denotes syllable)

[iamded]

First for each. Mock and ay-fol.

Seriously?

I'd never have thought that.

It's like hearing something funny and going "Loll loll loll!"

Thought for sure anyone would just spell it out A-F-O-L.

When was the last time you heard an alien abductee say he was take aboard a oofoh?

Well, Mr. Smarty-Pants I agree with you but it looks like we are in the minority. Most people pronounce it as a word. Actually, I do usually say ay-fole, but always spell M-O-C...

Funny, I've never spelled BURP, LURP or CRAPP, though. Spelling it out takes the fun out of it. :-D crap... :-P

Yup. :-P

I don't like spelling it out- it sounds like "em-oh-see" which tends to get annoying when you're talking about it. I pronounce MOC as "moke" and AFOL as "Ay-fall".

I'm the other way round funnily enough, I say MOC as in "Mock", but spell out A-F-O-L.

Clearly as the Batmobile has morphed into the Brickmobile! >:-)

I do the same. I figure that if it doesn't sound smooth, you might as well just spell it out. BURP sounds good, MOC sounds good, but AFOL just sounds ridiculous.

[jedikermit]

I spell out both of them, but I don't think I've ever used the terms aloud, even when I have met some AFOLs. It didn't come up. And if I tried saying "AFOL" to my wife, that'd be the straw that kicks my butt out of the house.

[iamded]

Then again, accents would come to play here. So it may sound different with the same pronunciation and different accents. Or something. *wacko* :-P

No, my logic is undeniable and I hate you with a passion. Also you squeal like a girl :-P X-D

But yes, I say "Mock" because it works, A-fol, is just weird and can be pronounced to many ways.

Clearly Batbrick's mind has turned to mush! *wacko*

[prateek]

I watching a vid on the lego channel on youtube and a lady was showing off her MOCs and she pronounced it "mok" so i thought to myself why is she pronouce it wrong since I say it as M.O.C.

So after that I thought how about other people pronouce it. So how do you pronounce MOC?

[Oky]

I say "mok" because the process of creating a MOC is sometimes called "mocing", and that always sounds and looks like "mocking" (which is kinda funny if you think about it ). Therefore, I make the word "MOC" sound like "mock" too.

Besides, it's shorter and easier to say this way.

[General Armendariz]

I also say "mok" I dont know why I just do.

[Darth Legolas]

Even though it should be M.O.C., it's much easier just to say "Mock."

[Ricecracker]

You might want to do a little searching before you post things like these. I remember this poll that Hinckley started a year ago. It's basically this but more. My answer would be MOC as in sock, and AFOL as in A doll. Hope this helps.

[Dadster]

MOC rhymes with schmock.

Schmock.

Schmock.

Schmock.

Thanks Ricecracker. I remembered that poll as well and I did a search earlier too.

prateek, I have merged your topic with this, to continue the discussion since both topic agenda does not really have much difference in the intended discussion between both. This is to consolidate the discussion into one place and to minimise duplication in EB.

In addition to the above point, no concrete discussion is too old as long it's still valid and current for the benefit of the community if there are values by adding your views in it. However, making a point in past LEGO news and themes about the release and discussion is an example of insignificant posting value. Hope that clarify. Thanks.

[Ricecracker]

Glad I could help, although I was afraid it might seem a bit like mini-moding . I'm glad you understand.

[Natman8000]

I pronounce it moo-caca-sha. Geddit? I pronounce AFOL A-ef-ol.
