The "j" is like the "g" in "mirage"

"Joh-ah-ooh"

The "ah-oh" sounds like the "ow" in "meow", but it's a nasal sound, practice it by holding your nose while saying it.

When you say it faster it sounds like "jwau"
Now I'm going to be saying meow while holding my nose. :lol:

She actualy got round to saying sorry who are you a few weeks later (total kyle moment for her lol) and said i actualy look more like a Mark. She then always called me Mark when she saw me lol. She eventualy got so obsesive with the joke she looked for a site to officialy change my name :shock:
