OP, just so you don't souind like a newb at the pounds (LBS), here are some tips on how to tawk rite:

Peugeot is pronounced "Pewjit" Example: "See the hipster on the old Pewjit that he paid $500 for".

Giant = "Gee-awnt". "I threw my new Gee-awnt into my Chevrolet coo-pay [coupe] and went to the pounds [LBS] in Deh-twa [Detroit].

Everything of quality in cycling is either French or Italian [Unlike automobiles, where everything French or Italian is crap....]. If it sounds French, say it rudely, and remember that all "t"s are silent! Extra points for authenticity if you refrain from bathing or using deodorant. If it sounds Italian, say it musically and move your hands around a lot. Extra points if you eat a few cloves of garlic or "whack" somebody.

And SRAM is pronounced: "Can't afford Campagnolo".
