idontunderstand:
How is the "pint" in Pintsize pronounced? Like "slint" or "blind"?

Mad Cat:
Pint, as in the unit of volume measurement between a cup and a quart, and sized as in how large.

Carl-E:
That's not helping with pronounciation... I'm guessing, despite the native american avatar, idontunderstand may not be a native english speaker...

It's a long i in pint, like the sound of the word "eye".  So, like blind.

Carl-E gave you the pronounciation. About the volume, I only think of it as the size of the glass of beer I usually have ("stop" in Swedish). And I am ever so grateful to Scottish & Newcastle for buying out one of the major Finnish breweries as the size of the cans went up from half a liter to the imperial pint (=0.568 liters).

That phony bologna holiday crammed down our throats by fat-cat union gangsters?

Also, Skewbrow, lucky!  In the states, the average can/bottle here is 12 fl. oz (0.355 liters).  Of course, bars'll serve you pints, but that's still just under half a liter.
