I’m going with ‘rhymes with funny’.
PYOO-nee does rhyme with the short form of municipal (muni) - in my mind at least.

mbhunter, I wish I could say you were the first person to suggest that, but you’re not. I’m told all of the time that I have the most gorgeous hands anyone’s ever seen on a man. Perhaps I should look into monetizing them. AdSense for Fingers, Google?

Kimberly, I haven’t a clue anymore. But according to the poll results as of Saturday night, it’s “Suiseiseki Money.” Fine by me!

So the anticipation is killing me… how are we supposed to pronounce punny that rhymes with funny and of course bunny?

Forget how people are supposed to pronounce the name of your site. That is one awesome looking fingernail you have. You could do some hand modeling.

I thought it was the same as funny. What would that be?

I don’t see how you could read it as anything other than what rhymes with funny and money both.

For the longest time, I read it as “puny money,” and wondered why anyone in their right mind would call the blog puny. When I read the content, I figured…heck, this guy is slightly off. So I left it at that.

Fast forward a few months…apparently, I couldn’t read

Now I think you mean punny as in funny.

I thought it rhymed with “funny”, but rhyming with money makes sense too.

Rhymes with money - just one of the strange things about our English language. hukt on foniks?

Now it would be weird to see Poney Money, or Punny Munny. Those just don’t look right!
