Bichir...Biker? bi-cher? beesheer?

[Freakdaddy]

I used to call em Bikers but got tired of explaining it wasnt some hairy arsed motorcyclist like myself so now its Poly's every time!

 

[straitjacketstar]

I've always said bish-er. I guess I'm alone on that one though.

 

[AwolAngler]

I chose other it's a french word it would be more like bi'(with a soft I "not saying it's name") - sher (like the name)

 

[ani-mal-lvr]

Bi-tcher or Bircher

 

[fishfood2326]

Dictionary.com explains that this specific fish is pronounced BICH-er (bold being the primary stressed syllable).

 

[KenyanSandBoa]

I chose other it's a french word it would be more like bi'(with a soft I "not saying it's name") - sher (like the name)

Same here.

[bigvisk]

[B.K.]

I used to ask lfs owners if they sell "bee-chers" and one of them told me he does not sell dogs

So now i call them "ber-chir".
