How Do You Pronounce OzBargain?

I was talking to a friend of mine about this site and he said Ozbargain as O Z bargain (ozzie, aussie bargain).
I have always read it as OZ bargain (aus), like in OzLOTTO

Does anyone know how you are supposed to say it?

thank you

      I actually emailed Scott regarding this as my brother also pronounced it as Ooozee Bargain. Scott clarified it by linking me a video of Toby Abbot pronouncing it.

    I just put this into our FAQ page. Basically

    • It's Oz as in "Wizard of Oz"
    • Yes Tony Abbott pronounced it correctly
    • Google Translate also pronounced it correctly. Click on listen icon under the English side.
    • This reminds me of the time Linux Torvald was asked a similar question asking him how he would pronounce "Linux", as in Line-nux or Lin-nux… I guess this settles it then.

    When my gf sees that I'm looking on OzBargain (yet again…) she kind of sings it like the Simpsons "Monorail" song: "Ozbargain, Ozbargain, Ozbargain!"
