How do you pronounce ogle? Is it oh-gle? Oogle? By far the best pronunciation is the first but older slang dictionaries do include the verb oogle. All of these words connote the idea of looking on with desire, often with an up-and-down glance. This is part of a complete episode.

I wonder if the pronunciation of "ogle" as "oogle" might take advantage of the visual image of a pair of staring eyes (oo) to help convey the meaning of the word?
