So, I'm assuming it's pronounced the same, i.e. it sounds like "on guard" (possibly with a typical french nasalised 'n' sound, as if it wasn't there, like aw...guard?" I am useless at 'phonetic spelling' in terms of French words.

2. I thought Enguarde's name was ahn-joo-rod.
3. I heard since I was about nine or ten that Cranky's actual name is Donkey Kong (Sr.) so when I read his Donkey Kong Universe wiki, the artwork Proof I'm A Moron (in the fanart forum) came to be.
4. I remember arguing with my brother that, because I'd listen to the DK Rap one too many times and I was about seven, Lanky's name was actually Crazy.
5. When I was little, I was afraid that orange monkeys in blue pants were going to come out and attack us.
6. About number seven, when you're going down a street that's in the MIDDLE OF THE WOODS at NIGHT and you're SIX and have been playing Donkey Kong 64 WAAAAAAAAAAY too much that's actually pretty reasonable.
7. This is actually what my mom thinks, but I'm still afraid. I'm not. I just didn't say anything about it until I was about fourteen.
