Do you refer to this place as "DU" or "the DU?"

1. My dear GreenPartyVoter!

Just "DU."

Saying "the" always struck me as awkward...:shrug:

But hey, whatever floats your boat!

:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. I just say DU as well, but I had noticed several who add "the" so I was curious about

which gets used more. :)

[CreekDog]

3. Radio Lady calls it "The DU"

:D

Served on wooden dishes carved by her Asian neighbor.

11. Makes me want to sing! $1 each!

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

De la sierra, morena
cielito lindo vienen bajando
un par de ojitos negros
cielito lindo de contrabando

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

Ese lunar que tienes, cielito lindo
junto a la boca, no se lo des a nadie
cielito lindo que a mi me toca

Ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores
porque cantando se alegran
cielito lindo los corazones

4. Is it pronounced "dee-you" or "do"?

Or is it "duh"?

[GreenPartyVoter]

5. I say the letters D, U myself. But that is a good question too. LOL

[NewJeffCT]

18. I usually pronounce the individual letters

D and then U

[GreenPartyVoter]

19. Seems to me the only people who refer to this place as DUH are the Freepers.

6. Sometimes I refer to it as my place of insanity

especially lately.

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. After looking at this thread, I think you may be on to something re: insanity. LOL

[madamesilverspurs]

7. DU

Sneaky reason, though. In this part of the country if I say I went to DU folks think I'm talking about Denver University. Heh.

8. "This place?" WHAT place? Where am I? Who ARE all you people?

15. I refer to this place as the Olive Garden where women open breast feed

their babies while their husbands smoke cigars!

Then when the asian woodcarver......

:D

17. It's definitely not my place of sanity.

But it makes me happy to see that I'm not the only one out there whose natural state of being is bat shit crazy. Fortunately for me, I got some good dope from my pdoc. Now everything, at the very least, has the illusion of being real. I think it's the real reality, though. I perceive reality now instead of creating it. It was all kind of like a giant straw man before. I had to torch that puppy.

20. Its still pronouced DU!

DU=　づ

[bridgit]

21. DU

[KamaAina]

22. If you say "the DU", you must be from SoCal

just like they call freeways "the 5", "the 405", etc. :P

[JonLP24]

23. Not a place of sanity, that's for sure

I guess just plain 'DU'.
