Ok, going for full controversy here. zsh = "zoosh" ssh = "shoosh" sudo = sue-dough

Before you achktually me, I know it's supposed to be "sue-DO", because the acronym stands for "superuser do", but for the life of me, when I see those letters together it just seems wrong to pronounce it that way.

Zee shell, or zish or just each letter ze es aych depends on my mood and if I’m feeling spicy.

At work we all pronounce zsh β€œzish” like dish but with a z.

sudo is sue-doo, not sue-dough or pseudo

SSH is just s-s-h
