If I hear "Kim-ogg-you-la" one more time, I'm gonna start stabbing people in the eye.

Ok, so how do you pronounce Skotothalamos then.

Ghee-la.

It'll shred your hand before you can touch it.

Actually, I would do that too.

This thread is getting pretty cold blooded with all these reptiles slinking out from under the rocks.

Hisssssssssss

Coooobraaa!!!

sorry.. wrong franchise.

So I pronounce it with a hard "G" like in Good, Gravy, Green, Garbanzo, etc.

"Geee-la"

I haven't encountered anyone saying "Hee-la" as in the youtube video that was posted. Maybe my ears are bad.

Then you are definitely not from Gila County Arizona, nor have you encountered a Gila Monster, or been to the Gila River.

It's an actual word. It's a Spanish transliteration of a Yuma Indian word that means "salty." Being Spanish, they wrote the "Hee" sound as "Gi."

And the Star Wars giant lizard that the ship is named for is based on the Gila Monster.

What giant Star Wars lizard?

The pronunciation could also be Kim og (like ogre) e la.

Or if your lousy with language, just M12. No eye stabbing required.

It's funny that I don't read it or speak it as the Spanish that the name Kimogila is inspired by since Spanish is my first language.

Correct or not, there are words that I'll mispronounce knowingly because it's more commonly mispronounced by most and don't want to come off poorly. Words like Gyro, karate, or bologna

Know your audience I suppose.

I think everyone has one or two buttons that get pushed in daily life. One of mine is people who drag their heels when they walk. The scuff, scuff, scuff is close to fingernails on a chalkboard in irritation. Auto correct comes in close behind.

M12

But then I have heard people also nickname it as Killergorilla or Killerkoala (h e l l of a pilot pod fame)

It's actually pronounced "scum bwing"

So, is that the "Em Twelve" or the "Em One Two"?

If you get it wrong, somebody's gonna get stabbed in the eye. Or is that a Focus token?

It's like if the Scum Y & the B had a baby.

M-12: 3/1/6/2 - Focus, TL, Barrel Roll, Reload + Salvaged Astromech, Illicit, Missile and Torpedo

Y-Wing: 2/1/5/3:

B-Wing: 3/1/3/5
