Is it pronounced "Mowg"? 

Tell me it is 'cos I annoy people correcting them and if I'm wrong I'll have to stop. 

Tell me it is, tell me it is. 

😁

[BreadBin]

It rhymes with vogue. 👍

Yup. Mogue. Or Mowg or Moge. Rhymes as has been said with vogue. Or the first syllable of Terry Wogan's surname. Unless you pronounce it Wo-gan. In which case a bad example 

[Bolo]

I'll keep saying Moog like moo g. I don't understand their products so I fear and hate them.

So how should I be pronouncing Moogerfooger?

[stewblack]

A bit like mother flipper 

[Woodinblack]

It might be mowg to them, but it will always be moog to me. If he wanted it to be pronounced mowg, he should have used fewer 'o's in his name!

Might be time for a poll.

And don’t get me started on ‘gif’. Fair winds me up, that one.

Sadly, in my music room, it's pronounced "Behringer".
