I've heard many people say "SNAH". And also "Crih-gee" when referring to CRJE. Our working days would be far less fun-filled if we couldn't joke around with acronyms or their pronunciation, inter alia. One of my favorite things to eat is General TSO's chicken. BALR is pronounced "bah-ler". STCM and ICM are "Stick-em" and "Ick-em". Two privileged instructions are "Stands-em" and "Stows-em" (STNSM and STOSM). Then there are the FIFO, LIFO, WINO (Whenver In, Never Out), and other queueing algorithms, "well, I'll BDAM", etc. and on and on for all Fridays in the foreseeable future.

Confused me every time. I've never heard anyone try to say R-J-E as a word.
