It’s not impossible for someone to have heard about assguard, looked it up, and then realized it’s “Asgard”. (lemmy.ml)

As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce "bi-frost" instead of 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).

My vikings professor pronounced it “beef roast” which always made me chuckle

The most popular VPN in China is called Astrill, and since vpn's and related discussions are forbidden, we refer to it as Ass Drill in messengers.

I'll assume you were washing your bum when you thought of this. At least your hygiene is good.

That is why the Marvel character Wiccan got his name changed from Asgardian.

I wonder which is a better product: the Assguard or the Anal Bum Cover?

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I see you have anal bum cover, but I think you'll find the penis mightier

Thor is pronounced "Tour" in Norwegian.
