Is it "MACK-in-tosh" or "Muck-IN-tosh"

REDEEMEDSKIN · Post by **REDEEMEDSKIN** » Mon Aug 14, 2006 1:14 pm

Last night during the NBC Broadcast of the Bengals - Skins game, I kept hearing Al Michaels and John Maden calling Rocky McIntosh, Rocky "MACK-in-tosh". It sounded funny to me, as they made him sound like the home computer.

This whole offseason, I've been calling him Rock "Muck-IN-tosh", for some reason. I was calling those guys "bozos" for "not getting the name right", but I'm starting to think I'm wrong.

Can someone please clear this up for me? Is it still pronounced "Mack", even though there's no "a" in there??

Yes, it's inconsequential, but I'd really appreciate any help on the matter.

Thanks.

I always thought that if it was Mc it was said "Mick" but I've never heard him refered to as anything but Mac In tosh. Just like the computer. Perhaps we could find out but I've butchered Prioleu's name enough and Salavea' a so I'm not too concerned. Just call him Rocky.

Thanks. That was driving me nuts last night, believe it or not, like fingernails across a chalkboard.

MUCK? Where'd you get that from? It's MACK-intosh.

Names starting with Mc are either pronouced MICK or MACK, but never MUCK.

Must be my PG County upbringing. :oops:

For real, for real, for as long as I can remember, I've pronounced McDonald's, "Muck-Donald's". #-o

Thanks for the info. It's greatly appreciated.

Just be glad they didn't keep calling on that Ndekwe Ikuneche or whatever his name is. AND, be thankful we didn't have Adewale Ogunleye. They'd have had fun with that one.

It's Mash-in-tosh. Just ask Gibbs.
