How do you pronounce CCKW?

[oifvet]

I don't even think anyone knew what an acronym was back in the day of the CCKW.

I've always heard it letered out, "C-C-K-W." (Cee-Cee-Kay-Double-Yew)

A CUCV was always a "Cuck-Vee" when I was around them.

KNOTTADEUCE?

Was'nt the CCKW the first official Duece?

Wait-a-minute -- wait-a-minute __
I believe it was always referred to as the "duece and a half"

 

[Dave_McConnell]

Okay is it DEUCE or DUECE?

 

[bigbee]

Correct spelling is "D-E-U-C-E" as in the number 2 or "a playing card bearing an index number two" (Webster's Ninth)

 

[Dave_McConnell]

I was being facetious.

 

[bigbee]

I knew that,

just wanted to make it official. After all, it's not to far from d-u-e-c-e to d-u-c-e and that's not pronounced "duck"

Has anyone ever checked to see if the spell check catches it?

 

[mikes47jeep]

i pernounce it (i-want-one)

 

[Chevytruck]

HMMWV = em niner niner eight
CUCV = chevy pee oh ess
HEMTT = big m*********ing truck
CCKW = deuce



But seriously, I've always just spelled out CCKW.
