I used to date a greek chick. yee-ro (or even year-oh) is correct

Let's just say the dude running the snack truck near Drexel U got so tired of people saying JAI-RO that he changed the menu to say "YEERO"

the gyro place i went to in college had an old 70s looking sign that said
"it tastes better if you pronounce it, yee-ros"

I am Greek, Yee-ro or Year-Ro is correct.
It always depended on who was saying it.

i say jie ro, but i eat shwarmas more than gyros now - mamoun's is the only way to go.

Heheh thats a good one. Thats the PC way of saying "If you call it anything other than yee-ro we will spit in your food."

I pronounce it like Gee-Ro.... I know it's suppose to be Yee-Ro, but I think that sounds stupid

I actually had the hots for the one on the far right. She and the girl in the middle are sisters I think.
