I always pronounce it so as to purposely be not funny. It ends up sounding like urine-us, but I think that’s an improvement so as to not be a distraction from being able to talk intelligently about a piece of science fact that is super interesting.

You can just call it ourahnous, it comes from the greek god ouranos after all.

Pronounce it as "urinus" and people will just be mad at you for killing their joke.

u/iamblankenstein 4h ago

i know it's just a joke, but it only sounds funny because most people pronounce it like it's an english word when it's supposed to be pronounced yoor-uh-nus, not your-ay-nus.

u/GoodGrades 10h ago

I hate the idea that we need to sterilize aspects of society because the name sounds a little goofy

•

u/Empyrealist 2h ago

Or at least pronounce it properly

u/DankyMcJangles 12h ago

Isn't it actually pronounced "urine-es?" Wait... I guess that isn't much better
