How is Flux pronounced?

[cosprings]

After a year of guessing and trying to correct myself whenever I discuss this fine juice, I gotta know how it's pronounced.

Flucks? Flukes? Something else? Does it rhyme with cook? Does it start like the sound in fluid (fuicks?). Is the U more of a consonant like in Ulysses?

I can't find it in the forums, despite repeated searches.

Bad, I gotta know. Do tell.

Technically speaking and this is just technically, the umlaut (the dots over the u) would mean that it would be pronounced:
Flu (like the sickness) - ehrcks. Say that really fast.

I say flukes.

Katatonik, great link!

Google Translate

That suggests it is somewhere between a long and short U, sounding somewhere between flucks and flukes, kinda like somewhere between fluid and flood.

But at the GV HQ, how do they pronounce it?

On that note. I think I found a humorous way around the ECF censor.

What I learned from electricians was "fluh-kcs". Sounds like a bad word, but isn't.

Actually in our iteration it is properly pronounced - floox...as in floozy, loose, moose, etc : )
