It's always pronounced "fie-cuss", but I suspect this is wrong. Shouldn't it be "fi-cooss" ("fi" as in "fit", "oo" as u in "put")? stales Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Entire Thread Subject Posted By Posted Figging Around stales 04/07/02 03:22 AM Re: Figging Around Capital Kiwi 04/07/02 10:16 AM Re: Figging Around wwh 04/07/02 02:38 PM Re: Figging Around emanuela 04/07/02 04:02 PM regis philbin of troy 04/07/02 08:19 PM Re: regis philbin Faldage 04/08/02 12:12 AM egregious question!
