Let's meet those headlines
randomaside, 
Uripades? Umendades?
jasondj, This really should be on change.org.
MonkderZweite, How are they pronounced?
HerbalGamer, 
Molleck-Yoo-Lees and Parr-Tick-Lees
fossilesque, (edited ) 
Honestly, go with the epic version.
dangblingus, What does “let’s meet those headlines” mean?
fossilesque, Meet those headlines [with all the flair that they give science journalism]
Kolanaki, 
I will never not pronounce them that way now that I have seen this.
Sabre363, I petition that henceforth all words be pronounced in the spirit of Greek heroes
DarkDarkHouse, 
All hail the great Johncles
Kolanaki, “My testicles itch.”
Threeme2189, All hail the mighty Testicules!
PoisonedPrisonPanda, I find this hilarious
Where do I sign?
Taniwha420, I would also like entomologists to pronounce the insect orders properly. That ‘p’? It belongs to the ‘-ter’. It’s ‘pter’, for wing. As in ‘coleo-ptera’, the ‘shield wing’, not ‘col-e-OP-tera’. Or ‘neuro-ptera’, the ‘lace-wing’, not ‘neur-OP-tera’.
We actually put the accent on a syllable THAT DOESN’T FUCKING EXIST in the Greek.
Fucking nonsense.
DarkDarkHouse, Helico-pter
fossilesque, I learned from ESLs. Sue me.
Kowowow, Particle man particle man
Zoop, Does whatever a particle can!
KreekyBonez, when he’s underwater does he get wet? or does the water get him, instead?
RagingRobot, Nobody knows
someguy3, (edited ) Can someone help me out and tell me how they would be pronounced?
I think I got par-teh-cleese.
Moe-leck-you-leese?
samus12345, 
Moe-leh-cleese, to make it more like Hercules = Heracles in Greek.
DroneRights, Mol-eh-cue-lees
Par-tik-lees
entropicdrift, 
Par-tik-lees
Probably pronounced the same but my brain breaks it up like this:
Part-ih-klees
Threeme2189, Testicules or Testiklees?
DroneRights, Testicles doesn’t have a U in it, so the second one.
jettrscga, What you wrote looks right to me.
tacosanonymous, Poseidon’s naughty child, Barnacles.
Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, Consider the following
Saxophone - Persephone
MaxVoltage, 
MalEcoLes ParTecUles
samus12345, Sax-oh-fo-nay
entropicdrift, Huh, the way I say Persephone (per-seh-fuh-knee), Saxophone would be pronounced sax-aw-fuh-knee or maybe sax-oh-phony (the way I say saxophone normally in my accent is sacks-uh-phone)
nomecks, Michael Bublé - Google
BodePlotHole, Canoes - Volcanoes
vzq, Just like tentacles and obstacles!
zero_spelled_with_an_ecks, I can no longer read tentacles without thinking “Don’t buy a boat.”
Semi-Hemi-Demigod, 
And testicles!
Evil_Shrubbery, The mighty Testacles, completely immune to any type of scrotal discomfort (like a true manwhore).
ReMikeAble, Testicles the Younger and Testicles the Elder or am I confusing with the Testicles twins?
Evil_Shrubbery, You mean the Testa Bros? Those are Romans.
Zoop, Nope, Chuck Testa.
Jerb322, 
Archenemy, Patella the mighty.
samus12345,
dutchkimble, Socratal*
Nakoichi, 
Molecvles nvts
perishthethought, This reminded me I play an online game with a guy who signs in as Testicles, the Greek philosopher.
Malfeasant,
agent_flounder, 
Ah yes, I for one live by the Testiclecratic Oath.
skulblaka, 
My partner recently bought me a stuffed cat that has giant balls. It's hilarious, long story. Anyway I've named him Bophades.
perishthethought, Bophades
I’m familiar with the legend, yes.
