I know you're supposed to pronounce it along the lines of "blo-hi", but the Anglicized "blahaj" is so hard to resist!

Everything from 'blaw-high' to 'blah-hadge' but it tends to trend towards simply, 'shonk'.

Good shonk.

Well, I'm from Sweden so... blåhaj lol

The "å" is pronounced like the "a" in "war", if someone from Britain was saying it. Haj is kinda like "hi", I guess?

Distinguishing between /ˈbloːhaj/ and /ˈbloʊhaɪ/ is difficult, at least for this anglophone.

/ˈblɑːhɑːʒ/ is the meme name though

Yeah I can't help but say it in the Anglicized "bla-ha-j", but I always say it in a bit of a goofy way like, a bit of a sing-songy way. Like, musically F-[bla], D-[haj]. Its just too fun saying it like that.
