I want to go and get a print done of an old football program so I can frame it.
A couple of question ...
1) Is a giclee what I want?
2) How the heck do I pronounce it?

Is it gishlee, gicklee, gishlay? Some mixture of all 3? I don't want to look like an idiot when I go into my local printer

Zhee-klay!!! That’s not even a pronunciation that had crossed my mind.

Same as Jus or je t’aime - I can’t think of an English word that starts with the same sound
Maybe we should just use the translation and call them squirt prints, or use the word in every day life “please excuse me, I’m off for a giclee”
