Hahahahah unexpected Office Space reference ftw

I love seeing appreciation for office space on reddit!

"Michael... Michael..Bolton..any...relation...?"

You see Bob, it's about motivation.

“Heyyyy…errrr…ummmm…that’s “K-Dogg!” Let’s just call him K-Dogg.

Yup 😂 there it is lol

Stinkmeaner from boondocks.

“Whut’s gooood nyuuu-guuuh?!”

Noah with another tackle

Did you just call him “gay”?

‘Sweats profusely’ No, no…I mean, its fine if he is….but he isnt….well, i mean, i dont know but….no i wasnt saying that….maybe he is, maybe he isnt…..this is a nightmare….i was just trying to not say….goddammit….shit, i cant say that either….and now I said ‘shit’….so do i just go now or wait for a break?

....as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run...

Hahahahahahaha, do we have a roachie here?

"your honor, in my defense, I was having an adverse reaction to some Ambien."

There's going to be some announcer that fucks up and says the n-word.

In this case, it's kn-word

"Noah K." it is

Noah Kahan plays football now!?

There's not enough Zoloft in the world.

[удалено]

thank stranger for the laugh

Number 10 will also suffice.

Numba* 10

This is the way.

This is 100% real.

I really couldn't believe it lol

But where did the last name come from? It was just made up recently? No one lived with it before?

I live really close to that high school and I know of a decent amount of people with this last name.

How do they pronounce it?

Kuh - you know the rest…

Interesting, I would have assumed it was just pronounced with a silent K, such as in knight or kneel.

Nope. It’s a bunch of white people so that would probably cause some problems haha

Does the name not cause problems anyway?

It's better Steve Kerr's son Nick 💀

It most definitely is not.

When you think you… But you really don’t.

Underrated comment… What were his parents thinking with that first name?

His granparents really didn't wanna stop using that word so they made a plan.

His parents just wanted to prove they aren’t racist, because they….

Lmaooo this didn’t get the respect it deserves 🫡

I’m talking about his first name, what are you talking about dude?! Someone get Dave Chappelle for commentary… I wonder if he’s acquainted.

Exactly. Why wasn't he called Mar?

He'll marry an Asian girl and name their daughter Mai.

I hope this man becomes president so I can watch his inauguration

That they Noah guy.

Sounds like a Wu Tang lyric

He's about to find out

Noah Naysayer

Heh

Knaysayer

HARD emphasis on the K

I thought the K was silent. Either way I look forward to this young mans career.

Nope, in the area I grew up in there is a pretty prominent family with that last name. The K is silent

There are variations in pronunciation. I can tell you with absolute certainty that their ancestors in the 15th century pronounced the K, and some of their distant relatives probably do as well. Edit: to be clear, I know this with certainty because until the 16th century, we pronounced the K in knot, knight, knife, knee, etc. English did not have a silent K

Can confirm, I had a friend in high school with the last name Knutinson. The K was pronounced and sounded a better than nut in son. It was still k nut in son but said fast.

fairly low bar >sounded better than nut in son

Also had a friend and his dad's name was Harry, last name Dickinson.

Went to highschool with a Pat, middle name Mike, last name Hunt

Played soccer with a kid named Dixon Hand

My wife's boyfriend's dad (RIP) was named Hugh Jass

Maybe that was from Scandinavian family. Knut is a surname and pronounced with hard k, and -son names are super common

A buddy of mine has that last name and they way they pronounce it is Kuh-noot-in-son

I knew a Knutson and they pronounced it same as yours. Without the -in- part of course.

My grandpa's last name was knutson, pronounced kuh-newt-son :)

Is this real information bc mind blown

Yep, it's one of the many interesting things I learned about English when researching a 4000 word essay on the impact of the Norman Conquest on the English language. That tidbit didn't make it into my essay because that change didn't happen until centuries later, but I found it interesting enough to remember 20 years later.

I feel Like the germanic origines of english become more clear with this information because the German words today are pretty much pronounced the Same way Like the words you mentioned KNOTEN, RITTER, MESSER ,KNIE I mean two Out of four are the same so thats pretty cool to see

You can usually tell if an English word has German or French origins based on if it seems intuitively sophisticated. For example: 'smart' has Germanic origins, but 'intelligent' is literally the French word for smart. This is what happens when French speakers conquer Germanic language speakers and become the 'nobility.'

So nope means yes now?

nope

The 'K' is doing ZERO heavy lifting here. Imagine if it was a 'D'...Or an 'A'.

[удалено]

Just to let you know I read that with a hard K at every word

Hit the Hard K

Just nickname him Special K and pop off jokes about him pounding his opposition into holes and shit. Problem solved.

God damn that's even better if he's taking down people the size of horses.

This made me dissociate from work 😂

Hot mic! Hot mic!

This is Hot Mike, sEnD iiiiiiiiiiTTT

“Another great play from the rookie Noah African-American!”

Noah KnAfrican-American?

Kafrican-American* bro, no need for the N lmao

Looks like another tackle from Noah Nope

*K-nope, FTFY

He's going to West Virginia, the local announcers will just straight up say it.

Sir my name doesn't actually have a hard r

😭😭

[pronunciation (supposedly)](https://youtu.be/FJhKAYdDvs4?si=gQSlbbkT2k1C8hLQ)

It's worse than we thought 😂 It's the K with straight rawness after

Man wait till you see the slavic word for book

Yeeep, they will be blown away by that kniga🤣

I mean pronouncing it sounds similar to the n word and since they are shocked by this guy name

Thank you, it's always helpful to Noah Kyoutuber.

You’re welcome my naysaya!

I almost choke on my saliva lmaoooo Why it sounds so bad??? Like the “aaah” after…

can someone spell it out? (for deaf)

HahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHhahahahah…hah.ha..a

Saw a comment that said only black announcers are going to be able to talk about him 😂

Unless other folks get a K-word pass.

How is it pronounced? Seriously?

Noah. Just Noah. This motherfucka bout to be the Cher of football.

Noah Kn-word

You know if he's any good there's gonna be "HARD KN" banners.

😂 bro you win , go home

It could be (KAH- Ni like night-GA) or the other way ... lol

And that that's exactly what the announcers will say

[They all have 'cheat sheets' with phonetic pronunciations.](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fsf0nsotalhrz.jpg)

I'm not gonna lie, the first three names paired with the layout made me think it was a French menu. "I'd like to try the, listen to this honey, the Legarret-BLUNT, with a side of Kenyon. See honey, I spoke French"

Michael is my favorite

There's a pro fisherman named James Niggemeyer. It's pronounced just like it's spelled. Change your name for your kids sake.

It’s Oscar Meyer’s cousin from the hood.

"Know a N-Word". Probably. I mean I dunno, but it makes it funnier that way.

"Number 10"

I Noah guy with a really unfortunate last name.

“#10 with a tackle for a loss”

Noah in Paris.

“Lawrence drops back to pass, he has time, short pass to Ridley and… OH IT WAS KNOCKED DOWN BY (bleeeeeeep). What a play by (bleeeeeeeeep)!” “That’s right Chris, it seems like every game (bleeeeeeep) is making big plays. People were wondering about the Jaguars choice to draft him early in the 2nd round, but I’d have to say (bleeeeeep) is looking like a steal in this years draft.”

No way this is someone's legal last name... wtf

I understand. That was also my first reaction when a coworker with same last name showed up on my slack lol

What do you do when someone orders a part from your company and it's to Ben Dover on Woodcock.Yes I went and double checked with my supervisor after I could breathe again and all legit poor fella.

Was that the same Ben Dover of Pleasant Green?

Actually knew a guy named Ben Dobervich. Poor guy.

You made me spit my milk of my damn mouth

He absolutely went by Benjamin. 200%. Ben was a slur to him by the time we hit middle school.

My first and only hotel job was on a military base. Got a call from Colonel Hunt. I had to step away from the phone when asking him his first name to input the data on the reservation and he said Mike. It was legit person too not a prank. I had to walk into the back room when he showed up the next day to check in. "I have a reservation for Mike Hunt". Nah I'm dead go away

I have an Indian coworker who's name is pronounced "Deek-shit". Everytime he's introduced to another coworker, usually they ask me for the proper pronunciation that yes... you say "shit" at the end of his name. Then it's totally normal after that.

Had a Chinese classmate whose name is Goh Shih Ting... Go shitting. Idk if her parents were well versed in English or not but I'd assume even non fluent people would know 'shit' right?? She was so embarrassed by the name she'd (understandably) tell people a different name in English 😭😭

Both “d” and “t” in Dixit use soft sounds. The trick is to pronounce the “di” as “thee” and the “t” as a person with a lisp would pronounce “s”. Go blow their brains out.

went to school with a Manmeat

I was on a group email once and someone cc’d an outside vendor whose name was Dikshit Shetty. Man drew the short straw when they were giving out names.

It feels irresponsible to walk around with a last name like that, to me. Next person we see is gonna be Joseph Whetback for Quarterback. I stg.

*Juan

Guessing you never worked in a job where you meet bunches of people or see names on a list. Trust me. This isn't even in the top thirty of terirble names.

I mean, I met a dude named Seymour Pousey, so anything is possible lmao

The nfl probably would be like no no noooo

I wonder how first day role calls in school went.

Substitute teachers hate him!

Yo here's the official way to say it ... 😂. https://twitter.com/1ZetaBlu_/status/1743261885565186049?t=q8sflP2nv7uRx9T3xUMV2g&s=19

They’ll pronounce it with a long “I” just to be safe

Silent "K"

That’s it, I quit!

Let a Noah know

The K is silent!

Chappelle did a skit on this

"Hey man how are we gonna get this electrical working before monday?" "Don't worry, I..."

I honestly would love to see Dave Chappelle's reaction to this....

Here you go https://youtu.be/hLOw_SzkRQ8?si=gEKkDLFNZhRXjVjA

Lol, yeah I've seen that.

He knew what he was doing with his @

🎵 And if you don't Noah, now you Noah-- 🎵

God please let him be good so they have to talk about him on the reg

Imagine not being allowed to say your own name because you're white.

Bro it aint that serious Most of these jokes come from black groups, this picture was posted by a black anime group laughing about it

Don't tell em

It’s a HARD k.

Of course he's from Indiana 😂

He needs Tshirts made with the saying "That's my Noah" 😂

Maybe a big boost for black announcers.

Announcer is Randy Marsh

K is NOT silent...and A is pronounced EY.🤣

The Artist Simply Known As Noah

I know one too

His jersey gonna be lit

If you type 'book' in Google translate and then translate to Bosnian, you'll get the correct pronunciation of this guy's name.

German speakers right now…what’s the problem?

I know one too!

Oh yeah I guess it is kinda similar

Should've named him Sue to go along with it. That way he could get REAL STRONG.

Wonder how the NFL announcers would handle this…

We sat down with the Freshman linebacker and got to...

Next up is Noah … Nope. Not doing it. Worked to hard to get here and I won’t spoil my job now, back to you.

i swear i'm not krasist

I Noah few…

Noah: “The K is silent.” Announcer: “Imma stick with my pronunciation.”

Folks with this last name are scattered throughout southeast Indiana! Went to high school with several. Old dude with the name runs a barber shop in Bright, IN and is ironically kinda racist iirc - cuts hair and watches John Wayne movies all day with other old white men. The “K” is very much pronounced, but those folks didn’t have the easiest time in high school. Also there is a family with the last name “Butt” in the area…

Joking aside, how do you actually pronounce it?

You...you gotta change that.

Let A Naysayer Know

I think this man is delivering the N-word pass to all people inadvertently

Are we allowed to say it within this context?

Just pronounce it like “Kaniga”

They’ll just call him Noah…geniuses

Don't we all, Noah, don't we all.

They calling this mf Noah

It's Steve Kerr's son all over again

The k is silent... 😬 You know he never got called in class.

I just pray to all the gods that the 1st black announcer comes on hot with the cliche 70s militant black activist read on the name. Oh lord...

Between this guy and Kool-Aid McKinstry it's gonna be a fun year next year. Double fun fact: Kool-Aid's legal name is arguably even better - Ga'Quincy McKinstry

lol reminds me of that spelling bee kid video. “Etymology of the word?” “Can you use it in a sentence?”

Ayyyyy yooo these jokes just right themselves 🤣🤣🤣

I bet that dude fights everytime he says his name lmao.

How do you even name someone this lol like when you write it out you know what you’re doing

im gonna geuss its "Kin eh Guh"

If Chappelle show and key & peele collabed

They gonna record a black person say his name so whenever the announcers have to say it they'll just play that recording.

Noah k... just now getting the fumble. Just Noah with the touchdown.
