Is it nun-chucks or num-chucks?

[her209]

I've heard it referred to as both, but which is the correct saying?

[CZroe]

Neither. It only has one letter c.

"Nunchuk"

 

[daw123]

I also went with nun-chucks.

 

[daw123]

Neither. It only has one "c"

Non-hucks or non-chuks?

 

[Arkaign]

It's ヌンチャク, 双節棍.

You just haven't listened closely enough. It's supposed to be funny that Napoleon Dynamite keeps saying "num" like so many other clueless kids and yet the captioners missed that when making the subtitles (at least in the original DVD5 version). Heck, even the Wikipedia article misquotes it.

Wow, 19 for nun.

Not even 1 fake answer.

Sonia Sotomayor says "num-chucks" in her Senate Confirmation Hearing.

Well it could be numb chucks for those inexperienced with 'em showing off! :biggrin:

I heard plenty of people say num when I was a kid.

I was just reading the wikipedia entry and I was surprised that they are illegal in New York, California, Arizona, and Massachusetts. Well, surprised at Arizona at least. Seriously, wtf is wrong with this government when they can make it illegal for you to possess two pieces of wood connected by a string or chain.

 

[Rubycon]

Ask them to say nuclear once - just to be sure.

I don't think its illegal to own them. Its probably illegal to carry them (concealed or not).

ヌンチャク

 

[pontifex]

you'd have to be a numbskull to say num-chucks or spell it as num-chucks.

haha, is OP the one who voted for num-chucks?
