(I'll take up annony's case: "g" is slang for $1,000. Every time "g" is used in a pecuniary context, it is more accurately a reference to urban slang and not a silly appropriation of the letter "g") |

The Brothers Chaps tend to toss the letter G around in places one would not normally expect to see it. It seems as if when The Brothers Chaps need to pick a letter, G is usually their choice.

Mispronunciation of G
The letter G can be pronounced two different ways in English: a hard G (IPA: /g/), as in "good" or a soft G (/dʒ/), similar to J, as in "gin". However, in the Homestar Runner universe, characters will pronounce words with a soft G that normally have the hard G.
G as J
- Email website — Strong Bad is unsure whether to pronounce "gif" with a hard or soft G.
- A Decemberween Pageant — Dr. Christmas pronounces "gold" as "jold".
- Homsar Main Page — Homsar reads "Games" as "james".
- Email the show — Marshie says "hey guys" as "hey juys".
- Email isp — Strong Bad is once again confused about the pronunciation of "gif".
- Email redesign — Sundae Drivin' displays "Your James Over" when Strong Bad loses.
- Main Page 25 — Marshie mispronounces both "guys" and "games" as "juys" and "james".
G as Gr
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 4— Cheerleader says "Grood", which she corrects by claiming it is a portmanteau of "good and great; great and good".
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 14— Upon being exempt from sit-ups, Cheerleader exclaims "Thank Groodness!"
- Teen Girl Squad Issue 15— Cheerleader pronounces it this way three times:
- "Oh my grosh, gals!"
- "Again I ask, gresh who got a date for the prom".
- "I just grot asked to the prom by Cheerleader Brian!"
