How do you pronounce DNF?

[+DENelson83]

Do you spell it out as "dee en ef", or do you pronounce it as a word?

 

If you treat it as a word, how do you pronounce it? I say "doonf".

 

Edit: Yes, yes, yes, I know you can also expand it to "did not find".

DNF is, well, DNF. I say the individual letters. I can't say that I've ever heard someone say it any other way.

I usually pronounce it something like "carp" or "shoot!" or "dagnabit!!"

Did Groundspeak's filters change your original words? Because mine can sometimes be a little stronger. Though usually it's just "oh what the heck - next!"

[+okie-wan]

DNF is all samey-same as DNF in NASCAR= Did Not Finish Capisce?

I laughed much, much harder at that than I should have.

I used to take the straight alphabet approach, but have gradually come around to pronouncing it "lookednhourforthesumbichandinfindit". It's shorter just to use the letters, but nowhere nearly as satisfying when looking for sympathy from your fellow geocachers.

I like to make it all classy-like by pronouncing it "d'noeuf", like I'd imagine they do in France.

Over here we don't call it a DNF, it's a 'we're-coming-back-another-time-and-search-till-we-find-it'

[+Whistlen]

 

I second that motion!
