Seeing as I have a good deal of experience with NBOMe's, it's rather odd that I have no idea how to pronounce the name of the substance. I call it 'En-Bome' with the O pronounced as in 'hope' rather than 'hop'.

What about you?
 
In English I pronounce it exactly like you describe (EN-B-O-M-E), but in Dutch I pronounce it with the O like in "hop" actually (it comes out as EN-BOM-AYE)

(This thread is kind of stupid haha)
 
Call it whatever you like lol.

But its really just prononced letter by letter, N, B, O, M, e.

Like everyone else said though i prononce it N-Bome.
 
It's an acronym, just like LSD or MDMA or any other similar name, so I pronounce it as such.
 
However you pronounce them, I'm starting to realise that there's more to these compounds than just a novel class of phenethylamines. A walk in the woods with 500μg 25b and 300μg 25i onboard (a reletavely low dose) was every bit as profound as any psychedelic I have experienced before.
 
What does Nbome mean anyways and couldt they have found another name?
Stupid chemists they should give it a scene name allready so it wont be called something stupid like roflcopter
 
^ who is "they"? It's us! We're the ones on the cutting edge of research into use of these compounds on the human brain.

Oh dear. I really shouldn't post while tripping. I think I know all the answers :-)
 
Whats wrong with it being called NBOMe? Stands for N-BenzOxyMethyl as Ebola said above. I always pronounce it N-Bomb. :P It's called that because of the benzene ring with a methoxy group and a methylene bridge between the ring and nitrogen. I think it's a pretty good abbreviation name to be honest, silly names like roflcopter are going to happen no matter what it was called, think of mephedrone - it started getting called meow.
 
Anyways give your drugs names of some greek godesses or something very distinguished so the press cant make up shitty names
 
I'm happy with En-bome personally. Yes it's a shortcut. Yes I know that the "25" refers to the two methoxy groups at the 2 and 5 positions on the phenyl ring and the "b" refers to the 4-substitution with elemental bromine. It's still helpful to have a name and en-bome is easer to say than "n benzoxymethyl 2,5 dimethoxy 4 bromo phenethylamine" or whatever.
