Yes I am very bored right now, but this is something that has always been a mystery to me. What is the correct way to pronounce "scosche"? I always say it like you say the word "coach", but I've heard people say "skoshkee" as well. Any ideas?

I say "skoshe", with the "o" long and the "e" silent. Kinda rhymes with ghost, except replace the t with an h. Thats how all of my fellow installers say it. It also means a right-angle driver, like the milwaukee one they sell at Lowes.

ghost is definitely a much better example word than coach posted_image . But yea just wanted to make sure I was saying it correctly.

I pronounce it skozh, with a long o like in ghost, and like the "si" in version (ver-zhun)...

lol, it is so hard to convey how one talks using simple text, heh...

I say it like rhyming with Osh Kosh.
But put a "s" in front of "Kosh".

LOL

Skooshhh
The "o" sounds like the "o" in ghost. At least that's how I pronounce it. There's also an actual word scosch, or spelled something like that. I think it means "a little bit".

I think this calls for a direct email to scosche themselves posted_image

. I'll report back my findings when I get a reply from them.
