| I read in a web blog the sentence, "The coach is the HMFIC. What he says, goes." It has been explained to me what HMFIC means but how do you pronounce it? |

Would somebody help me, please. |

Perhaps it is not pronounced as a word.
Just as TGIF is not really pronounced as a word but all four letters are spoken |

Thanks, Sirius. Your suggestion make sense but TGIF trips off the tongue. HMFIC does not.
Perhaps it is something made up by the slang dictionaries or just something that is written? Few in this forum seem to have heard of it.
MFIC would make more sense and it can be said easily like TGIF. |
