I've always pronounced it (spelling it phonetically mind you) grow-nard(s). Maybe thats why when I say it people wonder what I am trying to say.
 





"I choose option 5..."
"Three, sir!"
"... Option 3!"

And while we're on the subject of language, it's pronounced "row" to rhyme with "drow", not "row" to rhyme with "drow"! People need to get their language straight!
 

For me it is a mix between 1 and 2. Start with the Grog-part from 1, continue with an unstressed version of nard from 2.

And started playing back in 1984, so , kind of a grognard. ;)
