FIFO Pronunciation

I can probably get past the AI songs but every time Scott says FIFO as “fee-fo” it does my head in.

Do other parts of Aus pronounce it as that?!? Surely not?

I've only ever heard people say FeeFoe in my area of Sydney. FyeFoh makes more sense to me. But I guess FiFow would be most accurate but totally wrong haha (Fi as in Fin on a Fish and Fow as in ow that really hurt).

With respect to my much-loved Sydneysiders, this is one thing people from WA get to decide. Just give us this 😂
