Realy Stupid Question- how do you pronounce Teres?

I like "tear-ass"! You know... it seems more masculine, and daunting, kind of like "The Perch™"... Made from massive, dark African Ebony wood, the hardest of any species. You get the picture...it ain't exactly pretty.

Oh, for Pete's sake, doesn't anyone have a dictionary anymore. I'd assume
they are deriving it from the latin word that means round or cylindrical Look it
up! It'd probably be under the "T" section. I've got better things
to do than to get up for you and look up the pronounciation of a word! Like
writing more smart-ass responses and picking my wife up at the airport. T-
E-R-E-S....Go on, it's the really thick book with the alphabet tabs on the edge
of the pages. Not much of a plot, but really informative when you have
questions like this one.

The real question now is, when Marco's wife calls him from the listening room

It depends upon the circumstance. Should I happen to be listening to music she doesn't appreciate, and perhaps a bit too loud for her tastes (usually the case anyway), and she's in a particularly bad mood...well, I couldn't print the things she calls me or it would kill this thread! Otherwise, yeah, just "Marco" usually does the trick.

Prounounced: märk-O

I've only do the "Polo" bit if I'm in the bathtub.
