Silly poll: how do you pronounce COSTCO?

Cost-co. Or Cosco if we’re being lazy.

Now that I say it out loud, I seem to drop the T altogether as in Cahsco.

I wish I could get a voice recording. I'm having a hard time hearing it any way but how it is.

Honestly, I'm not sure how "Cahst-co" Is it an AH like you're from Boston and ordered ChowDAH. Is it the AH sound like when you have an ahnt instead of an ant?

I will say, sometimes those electronic voices don't know phonics. The bus I used to take goes down a street named Rosa. Emphasis on Ro, short a sound at the end, like someone named Rosa. The electronic bus voice always called it Rosay, (like rose wine if I could put a mark on the E).

This is how I feel.

My Os sound nothing like “ah” or “aw”.

I’m associating both of the pronunciations in the poll as sounding like a heavy New England accent.

Neither of those options. I pronounce it the way it’s spelled, COST-co. Or if my sister and her DH have been around for a while, we call it The Costco, LOL.

Same, I pronounce it Cost-co.  Don't drop the T and there is no 'aw' or 'ah' sound.  Those pronunciations sound more Northern or New England to me. 

If the word had 'ing' on the end, then being the good Southerner that I am, that 'g' would be dropped in a heartbeat!     

With my lazy west coast accent, Cost-co, Cahst-co and Cawst-co would all sound the same (people don't seem to drop the T here).

Whenever there are those things like how do you pronounce merry/marry/Mary and people pronounce those words differently, it's always a surprise lol

Cost rhymes with lost, co rhymes with ho.

Since Costco is a WA-based company, I’m guessing the way it’s pronounced on the recording is the way we say it out here.

I pronounce it with a posh upper-class English accent. I have no idea why. peabay, we were there last night too. We might have passed each other.

I just said it out-loud and I seem to pronounce it as cosck-ko.

Same! I'm often lazy and drop/slur through the t
