It's probably Frugal [dictionary.reference.com], but it's funny how many people I've talked to on the phone and hear it pronounced FROG-le [dictionary.reference.com],

Sounds like the Swedes who talk about that great search engine, "Goggles". No idea why...

Do they pronounce Google "GOG-le"?

*lol* Imagine all those sitting in front of their quadratic boob tubes and tellies trying to pronounce it the right way listening to their own voiced output :)

In fact folks all kidding aside,

Just the other day strolling in the park I came upon a gaggle of froogles. Damn did I get the heck out of there.

I guess it would be pronounced the same as 'frugal' (to be cautious with one's money)
