He just won a bronze medal in the 100m breaststroke and he mentions "Im-Gurr" while he's thanking everyone.
I pronounce it "Im-Jerr", so I'm not sure if he was talking about us.

From Wikipedia... Imgur (pronounced /ˈɪmədʒər/, like "image-er") is an online image sharing community.
iforgotwhatiwasdoinghere
The immutable source that is Wikipedia
artemasrukh
Didn't Alan say that it was "Im-Jerr"?
Frecklesgurl

I pronounec it 'ihm-gerr'
Spotrockaddict
That sounds like a weird makeup mispronounced word. As Imgur itself says is the correct pronunciation "Image-er"

If he calls us Im-gurr, then we are Im-Gurr. For at least until the end of the Olympics..
Retr0Futurist
Wow I can't believe someone who uses the same image hosting site as me is in the olympics what a small world
dagnabit
When he won, I was yelling, "Aww yeah! That's our boy!" at the tv and woke my infant son up. THAT'S how excited I was. Worth it.
Zatches
I'm officially proud to be called a imgurian!
MrSpankalot
You also say jiff dont you?

TIL: my husband ( who used to be a diver) looks kind of like Cody Miller @PerrinAybara564 xD

Now the real spectator sport starts. Watching all of the posts trying to see which one will make it to FP first.

I'm fine if it's someone else. I was just floored when he said it. I didn't even know real people used imgur!

I liked how you got faster every round. Is that adrenaline, mental, or just the competition?

I guess im-grr is right now? Watched this live and I was sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for him to mention us. You go Cody!!
BOOKGIRL21
Boy been too busy to study official pronunciation as dictated by the Imgur website. In the "Help" articles, under "Pronunciation".
SeverusSnapeWasJustMisunderstood
"image-er/im-ij-er" - the site.
ryukochan
I say im-grr
Spotrockaddict
Im-grr sounds retarded like you're purposely mispronouncing a word. "imager" has a normal English flow. It's also an "image" website
caramelballoffur
You are supposed to say iy like this:
ryukochan
I had been on here for a year before I caught that argument. My habit was set. Besides, im-grr sounds better to me.
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
It sounds awful and forced to me. But i saw "image" in the title right away.
Spotrockaddict
"Imager" how do you explain the mascot "Ima-giraffe"
Spotrockaddict
Im-grr kind of sounds like a retard trying to pronounce "imager"
Youpassthebutter
Agree, sounds better. I just pronounce it im-ger or how its spelled imGUR.
OrangeRhymer
Yeah but he pronounced it weird! Everyone knows it's pronounced imgur
imgurmyass
That's what he said

I will always upvote that picture, whether or not I've seen the aforementioned comment.

Nice wish I saw his comment b4 deletion
iforgotwhatiwasdoinghere
Commenter linked to a screenshot of the official pronunciation, which says 'image-er'. But it's still pronounced imgur.
BillyIsBest
Who pronounces it im-jerr?
billybombeattie
Billy does, dumbass. Lol
AntiChrisSmith
Image-er...
crazydaisy13
Not I. I will go down with the Im-grr ship.

I'm-jerr is better than im-gur. But we all know it's "image-er"
rubbarz
Hi Jerr, im Rubbarz
chucky235
People that like to pronounce things wrong, that's who.
IamWizard
That's rich coming from the "im-gurr" crowd.
cleopatches
I actually asked the Imgur team about this a while back. It's "image-er" :P

Oh look, someone with logical reasoning...
gibdav
He/she didn't ask why some call it im-jerr. Just who calls it that. He didn't ask for logical reasoning.
LincolnSiixEcho
I'll admit it, I say im-jer
Zombraina
It's imgur as in imager. So "im-jer" makes sense. I also pronounce gif "jif." SOFT Gs ARE BETTER THAN HARD Gs.
TheUnknownJuan
That's how you pronounce it. Even in imgurs settings.
TheUnknownJuan
"Imgur is pronounced "image-er/im-ij-er." The name comes from "ur" and the extension "img"--your image!"
Repostradamus
The same freaks who pronounce gif as jif.
IKnowAllTheLyricsToTheSimpsonsThemeSong
Fight me. I mean I don't say jif, but still fight me.
corbynDallas
Gif not jif. And it's so blatantly obvious that it's imager condensed
IamWizard
^ This guy knows what's up.
PumpleDrumkin
Like a true Australian I slang it down to simply imga
howdoyouturnthisonagain
Thirded.
thatguythatlaysthepipes
Yep, seconded
elbdms
lol i love that
nahster
Well, "img" in "imgur" stands for "image", which therefore derives the "im-jerr" pronunciation...
MyFunnyIsBroken
I pronounce all G's hard. Even the one in image. (Im-mag)
Nize426
I think it was clarified at one point that it's pronounced imager (imajer) but I still pronounce it imgurrr
DankS0uls
Opinions differ on whether the origin really fucking matters
Freyer
If it didnt matter, it wouldn't truly be a real and respectable word as is. It only makes sense when you look at the origins. Similar for
Freyer
all of our English.
