professor pronunciation 

The unusual pronunciation of common words by university professors.

My history professor says "Po-land" instead of "Poland." Is it really the land of the Po?

I thought "God" rhymed with "odd" but my professor says "Gah-haw-d" as if it had three syllables.

Dude, that's professor pronunciation; get used to it.

W7M ScoreGang Crips (Pronunciation)

A Detroit-based Crip subset from the Five Points neighborhood (48219) commonly referred to as simply “ScoreGang.” Among members and affiliates, the name is pronounced “Sko-Gang” — not “Skor-Gang.” The dropped “r” reflects local speech patterns and internal identity.

According to repeated local accounts, the name ties back to Five Points, where “five points” is interpreted as a “score.” Members often refer to themselves as “5Pointers” or “Hyenas.” The Hyena identity appears more prominently in graffiti through ciphers such as “83G” and “83GC,” commonly interpreted as “Hyena Crips Gang” and “Hyena Crips Got Control.”

“If yk who the W7M ScoreGang Crips (Pronunciation) then yk it’s not ‘Skor-Gang,’ it’s ‘Sko-Gang’ that’s how you say the 5Points Crips nickname.”
