How do you pronounce the food Gyro?

[slickdadd]

I always thought it was pronounced "hero"

just walk up to him all casual, stealthily inch your way to his side, lean in close to his ear, blink very slowly, and in your most breathy voice whisper "let me be your hero."

haha. nice.

This one is the Best American Bastardization Pronunciation
you can do IMO.. You will never get it good enough to sound
local, but this is good enough..

Or, you could wait till he orders one and say all coyish

"I'll have what he's having"..

if you're from texas and you want to be obnoxious

Sorry, is that optional?

 

[BileStew]

If you're from NY/NJ, you say:

"Give me that fawkin soft shell taco looking thingy".

I've got your "yee-ro" right here bitch!!!

the G is pronounced like in "Greek"
the y is pronounced like the greek letter µ without the "m", if you know waht I mean -you probably know it from physics and science.
and "ros" is just ros, like loss with an "r"
