What's new

how do you say... | pad patter 1.8.18

It's Em-oh-see for me... usually followed by "month of challenges... it's a new scrapping challenge every day of the month in January" ... that's the translation for all the people in my life who just don't get my scrapping obsession. :giggle When I say MOC they give me a weird blank look. Then when I tell them I'm creating a page a day they give me a "yeah, I forgot how crazy you are" kinda look. :giggle

Depends on the year.
My first year: M-O-C (em-oh-see). Because B-Y-O-C.
My second year was 5. So I had to say Mock {mach} 5! How could you not enjoy that pun? Scrapping at Mach 5 speed!
This year: Back to M-O-C. To which I like to add in my head: M-O-C -T-L-P- cre-a-tiv-i-ty.
To the tune of Mickey Mouse.

Well, I can’t not sing that now!!!
 
Definitely em-oh-see but really no one ever hears me say that cause my dh would be clueless. BYOB and BYOC. Letters, totally letters only.
 
That's funny I came to share that I say it in my head as MACH (as in scrapping at Mach 1 or in this case Mach 6) but I can see other people saw it that way in their head too :giggle. @bonnenuit @BevG

Any geeky nerds out there like me that have to look up the definition or wiki explanation of everything all day every day just for fun?

Supersonic travel is a rate of travel of an object that exceeds the speed of sound (Mach 1). For objects traveling in dry air of a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) at sea level, this speed is approximately 343 m/s, 1,125 ft/s, 768 mph, 667 knots, or 1,235 km/h.

I love to google things... I'm the smart mom in my kids' friend groups. Wish we would have had google or wiki when I was growing up. Back then you had to look things up in an encyclopedia... hehe!
 
So funny thing, my parents and I were talking about the MoC and I didn't say "em-oh-see" or "mach". I actually said "Month of Challenges". When I think it and type to my best friend @Aussiegirl, I say "em-oh-see". But when I speak it outloud, it's "Month of Challenges" not any of the initials! I must be strange to not refer to it as MoC outside of my head and texts.

I do the same. I was talking to my husband about it the other day and every time, I said Month of Challenges. So yeah, in my head, it's em-oh-see, but out loud I say the whole thing. I guess I figure if I say MOC, I'm going to have to explain what that means anyway so might as well do that first lol
