To me, it's ok, because the people behind it pronounce it dōj and I always pronounced it doggy. So now we know the evil pronunciation is dōj.

It's from Homestar Runner originally and unfortunately the Nazis picked the correct pronunciation

I pronounce it like doge. You know, like dog but with a long o, since that's normally what happens when you add an e at the end of a word.

Con, cone.

Dog, doge!

;_; but I pronounce it that way - like the old Venetian head of state.
