nginx (“engine x”) is an HTTP web server, reverse proxy, content cache, load balancer, TCP/UDP proxy server, and mail proxy server. […] [1]

I still pronounce it as “n-jinx” in my head.

    The first one is post-grez-queue-el, the second one is post-gree-es-queue-el

      The first is the only way that makes sense, the second too easily becomes post-grease-queue-el. Which is horrible.

        I will be calling it post-grease from now on.
