I think I may have heard it said.

'Oh ya, hi. Like, do you have the Boss Flarnger in stock? My chum Jeremy plays the bass, he wants that sound, you know?'

After some musing between this afternoons quotations for yet another reem of automated ship-to-ship cryogenic LNG transfer loading devices; One felt quite drawn to the poetic beauty of the following pronunciation 'flanger' and in 'banger'.

Ie:

Mrs. Gong: "Yur, Mister Gong"

Mr. Gong (Thats me like): "Yea Missus Gong?"

Mrs Gong: " Cum an get yer wanger in me flanger"

(Insert west country /wiltshire accent here for maxium effect)

There is no option now but to make a tune with that title. Pitch it to the Wurzels, see if they'll buy it off yer.

You could do one for the SE too called "Ganja fer yer flanger"

Never heard it pronounced 'Flarnjer' though, more 'Flaan-juuuh' Ooh Aah, Imma Cyduuh Drinkuuh

I prefer it to rhyme with the Moroccan city of Tangier... the "Flangier" effect, if you will. Sounds more French.

The correct pronunciation is flan-jer.

The reason it is called that is that the effect was first 'realized' by pressing on the flange of reel-to-reel tapes: take two tape machines playing the same audio running in sync through the same amp/speakers, lightly press thumb on one tape reel's flange to slow it down slightly.
