I went with the Japanese pronunciation "DOH-GEY"

chrisBob• 12 years ago

Doggie.

tbirdz• 12 years ago

doge -> dog-e -> doggy

At least that's how I pronounce it, Not sure about others.

frou_dh• 12 years ago

My take is that it's clearly an intentional misspelling and they're almost always pronounced the same as the original word.

Doje "Doe-hey"

As in, "doje deer, a female deer"

siddboots• 12 years ago

It uses the same pronunciation as "Quixote".

From the co-founder of Dogecoin, it's pronounced "dohj". Listen to him say it and explain where it came from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVDcOI0-gdQ

The co-founder of Dogecoin is not responsible for the start or proliferation of the meme. Which comes from a joke about Vogue (the magazine)thus pronounced as such.

That is not the correct origin of Doge http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doge
