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?

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

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.
