Same here. Hyper bowl. Until i heard it on TV.

I just want to suggest that your pronunciation at the end of your message is not quite right still.

Wouldn't it be closer to say "hi-per-ber-lee"? Or am i still getting it wrong?

Someone else replied and gave a better phonetic spelling of it. I updated mine too. "Hy-per-buh-lee".

What's funny is the first time I heard it, I knew immediately what it was, but I wasn't sure if that was the correct pronunciation, or if the speaker was being all high-born fancy-pants, so I had to ask my wife. English isn't even her first language and she knows everything about it. She's 10x better at speaking and writing English than I am. I do have other talents though! I think...
