Kona Hei Hei 1991 British Championship Contender

[Antwack]

My god. I’ve been saying it wrong for 33 years.

How’ve you been saying it?

How’ve you been saying it?

“Hi Hi”

In truth, I’ve been doubting myself ever since I saw Moana.. that damn chicken is called Hei Hei (and pronounced “Hey Hey”). Given the general Pacific island theme of the movie and the research Disney is likely to have done on it, I figured most probably they are right and I am wrong.

Still though. It feels like I’ve just found out the World’s not flat.

Ironically, I do have a ‘91 Hei Hei frame hanging up, whilst I collect parts for the build. Might get Gil to do me up some custom decals with (my) “correct” phonetical pronunciation.

Don’t worry …. I know the correct pronunciation of it and can’t help myself from saying it wrongly on each occasion that’s presented.

This pronunciation feels too "Cosby" for 2024

… and all is right with the world again…
