Is the "X" in "Xitheads" pronounced like "xzitheads" or like "jhitheads"?
I naturally assumed zitheads or shitheads, given the standard pronunciation of 'x' in words...
The best part is, it all works, because it all sounds stupid!
It all is stupid.
Szhitheads
I usually pronounce 'x' as an 'sh' like the native Mexican language of Nahuatl.
Also like the X in Pinyin (eg. "Chairman Xi")
Shitheads.
