I was thinking it was Heckler & "Kotch" but after watching that G11 video on HKPRO he says it Heckler & "Coke". Which is it?

Yep, I mentioned the same thing somewhere about the G11. I personally pronounce it "Heckler and Kotch" like yourself, but I think you can forgive us if that's in fact a mispronounciation. You should see english people pronounce my last name (Lemieux)... its disgusting. =)

!!! WHY, they say "Luh-Mew"... its "Luh-Myuh"

Translated literally from its Old French origins, it means "The Best". Translated from new french, it means "The Better". I like the old french one more.

Info POP :)

If it's Koch (think Don Juan when you see ch. Just like Neo says though isn't "ch" normally pronounced more like "k"(?) in which case it's pronounced like some male genitalia that we all know of /infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif)

Names and pronounciations part 2
Once and for all ppl, it's STEYR unless there actually IS a weapons manufacturer called STYER.
Here's a few suggestions as to how you could say it;

"Stair"
"Schtire"
"Stayr"
"Steyer"
"Stire"

I know how to SPELL Steyr however don't ask me to say it correctly

Hey Neo, there's this annoying, snob assed girl in my biochemistry class, supposedly she speaks german, I need an insult, and a snappy, end-all comeback in german to put the biotch in her place. (Oh yeah, and don't forget the pronunciation tips)

Can you help me out?

If you want a slap in the face, I suggest "heirate mich".

Sorry, sorry. Yiah, but calling a chick a dog is low. Maybe not in germany, but in North America, you'll be punched in the gut if you call a girl a dog. How do you say "you smell like a fish market"?
