This just perpetuates the mispronunciation of 'WAT'. It is properly pronounced deadpan, to rhyme with 'but' (with no h-sound wutsoever).

- oacgnol 15y agoMy reference pronunciation has always been like the word "watt", deadpan, with a blank face while staring into space.

- alevans4 15y agoI tend to agree with this, but in the circles I run in where it was used it's also spelled 'wut'. I was a little confused when I first saw it here on HN as 'wat'.
- stuartmemo 15y agoProperly? References? Anyway, who cares, it's funnier to say when you sound it like "cat".
- ramblerman 15y ago"This just perpetuates the mispronunciation of 'WAT'." What a silly thing to pretend to have any knowledge over. As if there is a consensus, or any authority by your part on the matter.
