- jowiar 15y agoThe same way you get it out of cus?
- baddox 15y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discus_throw http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discus_throw I initially thought it was pronounced like the heavy disc. The second syllable isn't exactly "kiss," but the first syllable is stressed.
- stevenj 15y agoI'm guessing I heard someone call it "Dis-Kiss" or "Dis-qiss", and it stuck.
- guynamedloren 15y agoPaul - I love the original content and insight that you're providing through TSF, but please seem more interested! Engage a little more. Interrupt the interviewee and dig for a more content. We want depth. We want the info we can't get anywhere else. We want the nitty gritty details. You have a unique opportunity here - take advantage of it!
- g0atbutt 15y agoThanks for the advice guynamedloren. I'm still a newbie at interviewing but I'm working hard to get better at it. I really appreciate your feedback and I'll look to incorporate it moving forward. All the best.
