moms and nunchucks
 

now how many of your moms call nuNchucks, nuMchucks

Either way is wrong :D

It's "nunchakus", I believe.

Yes, it is nunchakus.

No "s" in nunchaku

"s" makes it plural.

my mom used to have some nunchackus

I don't care what the correct name is, they will always be nunchucks to me.

im talkin about how they pronounce it u dumb asses

My mom says Nunchaku.

It America, they, usually, say it Nunchucks, not nunchaku. Anyways, my mom says nunchucks and sometimes numchucks.. :roll:

Dude, you need to calm down. Lately, you have been heading down the path of individuals like PWDESAI and MZ. And believe me that is an immature and embarrassing path to head down. Try to be respectful when you post here, and post topics that are worthwhile.

That's right, and next time I see a post like that from you, Garet, you'll get a warning. Please read the forum rules.

my mum calls them nuNchucks, nuMchucks would be something my grandmother would do :lol: .

If anyone wants to know, there are three official ways to spell nunchucks: nunchuck (duh), nunchaku, and nunchaka. Since the term is of Japanese origin (I think), none of the words would have "s" on the end because there is no plural in Japanese. ex: in Japanese "hon" means "book", and it can also mean "books" at the same time, depending on the conversation depends on the interpretation.

Okay, I'm going to shut up now.

Watch it sonny, it looks like you've made some powerful enemies :lol: But anyway my mom called it "that stupid ninja turtle stick thing"

:lol:

I'm pretty sure Japanese are baffled by the concept of using "s" for plural words ;)

Besides, we were putting it in OUR terms, no theirs, or should I say "their"? :lol: :lol: :lol:

um my mom dosent say anything about them, she usally tells me to put down that stick, or stopp hitting your sister :roll: you know

~Being A Mom, I'm happy to share this. I usually say "nunchucks" cuz it seems like the most commonly used pronunciation. Or "'chucks", if I'm writing Mikey dialogue. If I want to sound terribly correct I'll use "nunchaku."
My kids were the ones that said "numchucks"-- at least when they were very young little Ninja Turtles hurtling off the furniture whooping "COWABUNGA!"
In fact, one early version came out "numbchops" which inspired one of my first TMNT cartoons. The punch line was something about a visit to the dentist and a lot of novacaine.....

Bwahaha, the ever talented GW, finding inspiration in the most unlikely of places.

My mom used to say nuMchucks a lot. She wasn't very "up" on weapons and such, but she did think Ninja Turtles were an interesting concept. She loved the theme song. She used to make me sing it in front of people.

Damn childhood trauma...

~I'm glad to know I wasn't the only sadistic Mom around, making my children do hideously embarrassing *cute* things..... :evilgrin:
