For a GT Performer, the second one. For Greek people, the first one, but I pronounce it the second way because I'm a BAMF

I like lots of ethnic food. Greek is terrible.

"GEE-roh"

One of those Greek words that uses a very soft "g" sound, though. Almost like you're trying to say "gh."

"R" also soft, and sound made with the tongue/roof of mouth (not a "hard" 'r' formed with the lips).

That last sentence sounds highly suggestive

The official pronunciation is Year-O, but I just call it a greek taco or a burrito that does anal.

it's YEAR-o
With just enough G added to the Y to make it not exactly clear if any G is actually there.

Unless Greekfest is going on, you cannot get a decent lamb gyro in Knoxville. And now that Ali Baba's is closed, you cannot get a decent steak in a sack either. Those are the two things I now always look for when I go out of town.
