How do you say AAA? - Page 3

**StormKlowd61** · 10-10-2008, 06:31 PM

Triple A. The other way just sounds... wrong.

That's how I say it, and that's how just about everyone on the internet says it too.

Well I guess kinda like 'lawl,' but with less of a drawl and more of a bright vowel. Pretty much exactly like the "lol" in "lollipop."

It doesn't flow well in conversation.

"I gotta ah ah ah!"
"Whoa dude don't be facin' me if you gotta piss"

Why do I feel the sudden urge to siggy this?

But I usually say Triple-A, unless I've actually obtained one, then I blurt out A-A-A, forgetting what I'm supposed to say in pure happiness.

**MeaCulpa** · 10-10-2008, 06:58 PM

I say it 'triple A', but when typing it out, I think it just feels more natural saying 'an' before a vowel. So I usually write 'I got an AAA' out of habit, even though it sounds wrong as a whole.

**GG_Guru** · 10-10-2008, 06:58 PM

I used to say I got an "Ay Ay Ay".

But now that I think about it, Triple A or 3 A's sounds a lot more proper.

**Xiaounlimited** · 10-10-2008, 07:03 PM

A
double A
triple A
quad
quint

I do this out of habit - ITG. "Guys, I star-star-starred Delirium!" Triple starred, or commonly, tri-starred. It's too chunky as "A-A-A", doesn't roll off your tongue.

Ay
Ay-Ay
Triple A
Quadruple A
Quintuple A (ridiculous ftw)

**STD_Sappy** · 10-10-2008, 07:14 PM

Triple A is the way people say it. People who play DDR will slap you if you say EY-EY-EY. End of story.

You are technically supposed to put "an" before AAA, only because it's an acronym standing for "Triple A". But I'm pretty sure you don't actually read the way it's technically spoken. So if you said I got an triple A, that sort of sounds wrong; if you said I got an AAA, that sounds a little more convenient.

Full Perfect Combo.

I type it AAA but pronounce it Triple A.

AAA on SM with marv/ridic and AAA on 2dx =/= FPC

**5.points** · 10-10-2008, 08:35 PM

I don't really play SM that much.
Yes though, on SM I pronounce it triple A

**Xiaounlimited** · 10-10-2008, 08:39 PM

Also, anybody in a AAA league will laugh if you said "A-A-A".

"You play baseball?"
"Yeah, triple A."

It's not just SM talk lolol

Sounds right and I agree

somethingillremember · 10-10-2008, 09:22 PM

You could say "I hit all the notes perfect!" and see how people respond...

Wineandbread · 10-10-2008, 09:44 PM

Really?...
I've always said AAA, lol. xD

**s0ulst0n3** · 10-10-2008, 09:47 PM

I go, "I got an Ayyyyyyyyyyyy".

Seriously.
