This "Ski" thing seems like a recent trend in the last four or five years.  That's fine, and maybe it's just me.  What do you call them?

Musky is American, Muskies is Canadian. Ski is all you can hear through the buff.

"Ski" seems like to be a Chicago thing.
Almost every Chicagoan I have talked to always says that they "stuck a ski" -

Tomato

Tomatoe

Musky

Muskie

Either/or works just fine.

A ski is something that you put on your feet to slide down the side of a mountain on. Or...to water ski bouys with in the Summer months. Or...on the front of a snowmobile.

Has the human race become so lazy (due to technology) to not want to bother pronouncing full words since they no longer type out full words anymore these days? I mean...c'mon...how difficult is it really?

I like calling people out on the stuff they say. It must be too hard to say the whole word now

Was going for the pronunciation of the word tomato.

Let me re-try with phonetic spellings:

- Toe-may-toe
- Toe-ma-toe


That better?

Muskie and Musky are pronounced the same, different spellings based on geography or personal bias.

Splittin' hairs here...

In my boat, that line would have you swimming back to shore.

Have a friend I've known for decades who is like that. EVERY GD THING is abbreviated.

Esox majoris for the preferred esox species, while a minoris is the dreaded snake northern.

It's really simple...

Musky - Def. of or having a smell or taste of musk, or suggestive of musk.

Muskie - Def. The muskellunge.

1. A muskie can a little smell musky but a muskie is NOT a musky.

2. A muskie is NEVER a ski.

Somebody should tell the guys over at Musky Hunter...

I'd also add that it is never appropriate to use the term "Muskellunge-o" or refer to the net as "the Frabill" Two more things that will get you thrown out of my boat. In fact...

This should make for an entertaining topic all on its own...

Can we cross reference if they use soda/pop or bubbler/water fountain and Musky/Muskie?

It might turn out that some people are just plain stupid altogether.

'Ski Is what I use when typing on the tablet/casual usage or need to abbreviate, Muskie is for general posting/usage.

I've heard two very well known guides refer to their net as "The Frabill", but I call it "The Net", even though it is a Frabill

No, I'm not from Chicago and yes, you can use ketchup on a hot dog unless you ARE from Chicago.

Never heard anyone use Muskellunge-o but it wouldn't bother me if you did.

People who look down on or criticize others for what they call things are "snooty" or "elitist snobs" unless they are kidding/joking.
