I generally pronounce it “tier gun”.  I usually say it with a little extra pause on the “er” and a slight roll on the “r” — as I imagine an Irishman would say it.  That said, it’s been 25 years since I was last in Ireland, so I may be entirely wrong.  :-)

Not heard it before . . . Well certainly not the way I’m pronouncing it like de’tergen’t . . . (sorry)

Stupid parents.  Nasty brother.  Hmph.  If idiots like them would just stop viewing relationships as tools for them to use and as something between two people, the world would be a better place.

Damn straight!
