If you were forced into a Hagwon to learn university level English at the ripe old age of 11 you would have known how to pronounce it.

You never heard the word pronounced out loud? You may literally be the only person to make that mistake I've never heard it in my life

I live in the fricking rust belt most communication here is done by a series of grunts. People look at you like you're a wizard if you use a word with over 3 syllables.

Lol I was talking to my ex-boyfriend and I said this word properly and he looked really confused and said "You mean hyperbowl?"
Took about an hour of convincing him he'd been wrong his entire life, but there was a minute when I thought I was wrong and that was a horrible minute.

Pronouncing words like that (ones people rarely use) wrong is just proof that I'm well read
Isn't it hyper-bo-lee when used as a noun and hyper-bowel(-lic) when used as an adjective?

I pronounced it as hyper bowl til I was 16 and I blame that on the hyperbolic time chamber being my only spoken exposure to any similar word
People on here are larping with DBZ names but you've never loved DBZ so much that you stayed in an obscenely hot bath until your blood pressure was fricked and then popped the drain and kept laying in there as it drained so your sense of gravity starts feeling out of whack as your body desperately tries to figure out what the frick is going on all so you could pretend to be
@VEGETA when he was in the hyperbolic time chamber/gravity chamber

Lol even I, who as a native French speaker would be naturally inclined to pronounce it that way, knew better. It helps to watch shows with better vocab than DBZ. Ok I mainly learned watching Disney Channel but the point still stands.

I did this myself with "epitome". The people I was talking with wouldn't have known the difference between an epi-tome and epit-oh-me, so I could show off my smarts/ignorance without losing face.
