Here I am on the Geek.

I do know other people who do, mainly Londoners.

Ah - that explains it.  Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner ...

It's like 'Vae-Fae-aeR-Pae' :)

Some people who have trouble with long words they just abbreviate it to 'VAHA'. :)

 Its been wufrup since the day 1st edition came out to me and most of my gaming friends......A few who came in at 2nd ed call it warhammer but we tolerate that mild eccentricity.

With rugby, its not the winning that counts but the taking apart

I've noticed that oldscool calls it "wuhfrup" on Small But Vicious Podcast.

I usually just call it "Warhammer" -- around here, it's synonymous with WFRP.

I honestly thought everyone pronounced it wufrup. 

Without signature

Being french, I like to pronouce it with the french diction.

It becomes something like:

"Varamair"

Say it fast with the tonic accent on the last syllable, Vara-MAIR.

 WFRP would be:

"Vefe-RÛP"

Yeah, around here (Dublin) a lot of people call it wufrup.

Disclaimer: The views expressed in this post are my own. I do not speak for FFG in any capacity, officialotherwise. To be honest they don't really tell me much about anything, so you can assume I don't know squat.

 

I mean diddly. I don't know diddly. I did not mention squats. Squats are not making a comeback.

 

Unless they are. I really don't know!!! Seriously. Though squats were cool. Pity they all got eaten by the 'nids. Or did they?

Yeah, 'Wuhfrup' (don't forhet the 'h') is fairly widespread. I believe that the FAQ on the old StS site that RevLepper wrote made mention of this (though it might've been at the Archives -I forget). 

Drive your cart and your plough over the bones of the dead.

The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.

Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by incapacity.
