OT: anyone know how to pronounce quux?

I tend to pronounce it "kooks", like the Usenet infestation, but I think "kwooks" is more popular.

I pronounce it kwuhks; rhyming with bucks rather than books (or pukes). I think that is generally accepted. I pronounce "qux" as kuhks and "quuux" as kwew-uks but I think those are both personal variations. -sauoq "My two cents aren't worth a dime.";	[reply]

The Jargon File entry for "quux" claims that it is pronounced /kwuhks/. -- Mike `-- just,my${.02}`	[reply]
