This is how you pronounce Pinterest.
For the billion people who google the phrase “How do you pronounce Pinterest” every day and then hit my “I don’t do crack, I do Pinterest post” instead and leave in utter devastation:
Pin-ter-est
Like “interest” but with a P. I think that was the point the creators were trying to make.
That’s how you pronounce it. You’re welcome.
You can find me on it here.
(Also – totally like crack. Only safer and with a much nicer outcome.)
Happy Pinning!

Put a “pin” in your “interest”. Common sense. It’ll be an SAT question soon and tens of thousands of girls will get it wrong.
Also, who pronounces interest “in-ter-est”? It’s run together like “inch-rest”. I say “pinch-rest”.

“How on earth were people pronouncing it wrong?”
well they were probably pronouncing it the way I do – saying ‘p’ then ‘interest’. It only dawned on me yesterday that it should be said as one word.

I was telling this bratty girl about the site and she corrected me saying, “Um, it’s pronounced ‘Pee-Interest’, honey.” I was just like, WTF? No, It’s not.
Glad to know i’m not an “Idiot” for pronouncing it the way it was intended.

woohoo! I’m following you now. I’m dying laughing. I might be the biggest pinterest addict out there. But, like you, I initially refused. I first heard about it from Kim (HI KIM!!!) and I thought ‘Gah! Never!’

& it is just like cocaine.
Not that I’ve done cocaine.
I’m serious. I’ve never done any drug but coffee.

… I might just repin almost everything you have pinned. How was I not following you already? Also, Apple just tried to change “repin” into “repine” which apparently means “to feel or express discontent; fret: ‘you mustn’t let yourself repine.'” Word of the day.

It’s always amazing to me the number of people that add syllables to this word. I agree – for goodness sake – it’s just “interest” with a p! 🙂
