Or you're an English speaker with a decent vocabulary.
Decent? More like extraordinary. The only people who might speak the word with any regularity are RPGers, wargamers and geneticists. Even then, you get Kai-mee-ra, Shimmer-a, Chee-mer-a, etc with far more regularity.

It's reversed over here 
I'm now pronouncing it as "Chim-era" instead of the correct version, as all the guard players here pronounce it as such and it's now infecting me.

You know you read too much of this thread when you're starting to doubt your pronunciation of "chimera", and forgetting how to read pronunciation guides in a dictionary.
I want to say I've said it as Kai-mare-uh (mare like the horse), though Kuh-mare-uh also sounds right. It's probably because of something like the care-a-mel/care-mel vs. car-mull debate I have with my boyfriend.

Agree on the shooting phase 
Probably think of the queen as my HQ, cus the king does not have much in the way of weapons
Definitely don't want librarians smiting me... (reminds me to pay my dues)

Seconded. Also while watching movies -- with friends at home, I'll occasionally yell it out, but in a theater I don't want to be TFG so I just mutter it under my breath while snickering. Avatar was a good one for that.
Speaking of, YKWYPTM40kW ...
You look at Avatar and say 'Imperial Guard versus Tau!'
You look at Battle: LA and say 'Imperial Guard versus Tyranids!'
You look at Starship Troopers and say 'Imperial Guard versus Tyranids AGAIN!'
(Also, every time I play against 'Nids I feel required to shout, at some point during the game, 'THE ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG.' I have seen that movie waaay too many times.)

So, I was in this place people call the mall a while back. And I had the urge to expel some bad spirits. As I went into the bathroom, I chose the urinal closes to the corner so I could have some privacy. So I whip out Lord Pevincy and let him loose the bad spirits. Well, I was looking at the wall as the Lord was expelling the spirits and I seemed to have gotten distracted. Turns out, I missed a little.
SO I'm sitting at my computer right, and I have a Coke, Bottled mind you. But it got warm, so I got a Coffie cup and I filled it with the coke and some Ice and I sipped as I did my internet stuff. So like and hour passed and I hadn't sipped any of it. and when I go to sip it, I notice that something solid is in it. So I'm like, "No, why would there be something solid in my coke?" SO I pull these solid THINGS off my tongue and guess what they are? F ING ANTS! I was like WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And so I ran into the Kitchen coughing and what not and I threw those little bastards down the drain with a flood of hate and cold water.......those bastards are lucky I don't have my Nucians yet!!! |

When you say "sweetie, instead of going out with my girlfriends tonight, can we have a game?" to your b/f
When you plan to spend your entire week off work doing nothing but painting terrain.
When the main source of your angst at getting bronchitis at the start of above mentioned week is that you can't hold a brush without it shaking.
