Yah-oh-ee. The Japanese pronounce syllables in words a lot differently than we do. For example "itai" is pronounced "ee-ta-ee", with the i's treated as separate syllables.

Whatever it is, I bet it involves homosexual activity, and that some girls get off on it.

Hahahahahahaha. Fail. Not far off though, but considering Japanese pronounciations are always far different to most other languages, it's almost like that.

It's Yah-oh-ee.

Considering the fact that in Japanese...

An A makes an "ahh" sound. (Think "Saw")
The O makes an "Oh" sound. (Think "Okay")
And the I makes an "E" sound.
