This was pretty much the final nail in the coffin for the Slang category--it offered one of the most difficult puzzles on the show, much like how Megaword had ones that had mostly uncommon letters and were very hard to pronounce.
Yeah….it WAS ridiculous- the Slang category did itself in after this lol
Nancy Jones was dismissed from Wheel because of puzzles like this. I think she's the one who thought Megaword would be a great idea of a category to put into the show.
Pat: "Yeah, what do we have there?"
Contestant: "Buttinsky, jackass"
Can you imagine how competitive this could’ve been if it landed on the $5000 space?
The producers were needling WAY too much on the pronunciation here. Wow, that was excruciating to watch lol
Indeed, no wonder producer Nancy Jones was gone by 1995 and replaced by Harry Friedman, who is now executive producer.
Yeah the writers/producers really drew the line on this one. The slang category probably was retired after viewers were complaining about what kind of message this gave off…
It is in the rules: you have to pronounce the puzzle correctly or it won't be accepted.
@@TenPoundHammerWith slang there’s no official pronunciation. Buttinsky could be said exactly as it’s spelled or you could round the TT off to more of a D sound.
Greg actually pronounced it correctly the first time.
No wonder that category was retired.
Weirdest puzzle in WoF history
It's like the Warsaw phone book we're doing! LMAO
I actually saw this when it aired. I've never forgotten it. I'd hate to have my butt in sky :P

The guy seemed to get it at 2:05 but they buzzed him for some reason.
No. They all said it with the hard T sound like this at some point. They wanted the D sound, not T.
The judges were Buh Tin Skis.
*THIS IS WHEEL OF FORTUNE, GREG, GORDON and LARRY!!*
Reminds me of the REGIS PHILBIN & KELLY RIPA incident XD
That's exactly what I was thinking.
Goodness...I remember that too!
Those people were acting like idiots! And honestly....what got in to the writers' heads on this one? At least a better spelling would be with an *I* at the end so you know it's "skee" instead of "sky" 😄
Regis Phibrin and Kelly Ripe-ah 😂
Producer was like, I don't even know how to pronounce that.
Nowadays, almost all of this would've been either 1) cut out or 2) left in at the expense of something else.
Butt in sky made me die.
And the category would have been Rhyme Time!😂
Producers to Nancy Jones after this- "We need to have a little chat, but first clean out your desk and your office!"
February 25, 1993 - One day before the 1993 World Trade Center Bombings.
Neither the "Boozing My Shore Excursion" episode nor the "Achilles" episode will ever amount to this.
After something like that, they should have invited all three of those guys back or did a do-over puzzle and thrown it out.
This was aired on February 25, 1993 as I just found out.
Nope...that is clearly "Butt in sky"
This is what happens when Americans try to Americanize our names😂😂😂
Zdzislaw Buttinsky
The producers were not being a bunch of buttinskies.
about the *ONLY* way this could have gone any (WORSE* is if they'd solved it in normal play had time for a speed-up and that category ended up being Mwgaword (for those of you who have never heard of that category, once you solved the puzzle, you got an additional $500 if you could come up with a sentence with the word that you just solved in the sentence. it was that category that got the previous Producer Emeritus, Nancy Jones fired and her job was given to now Producer Emeritus, Harry Friedman.
Buttinsky? What the heck kinda slang is that? Had to Google it.
The first evidence of Russian bots affecting American culture right there....
It means someone who butts in where he’s not welcome, I believe
Do you have The full episode so far
HE SAID IT AT 2:07!!!!!!
I looked up how to pronounce it. He pronounced it wrong apparently is my guess. It is prounced like "bud-insky" but he wet hard on the T's. Sort of stupid I know especially with the way it is spelled. But at the same time I can understand not accepting it if pronunciation matters which it seems to or at least seemed too.
If I ever take over for Pat Sajak, this is going in the title sequence
3:08
Puzzle was finally solved
What is so hard to say butt en skee. Maybe it's the way it is spelled.
Buttinsky. My aunt had a problem with the soda pop ski in 1960's. There was picture of a woman on the bottle on a pair skis, but my aunt still called a sky.
Buttonsky, Battensky, Buttansky, Bittensky, Bettinsky, Bottinsky, until we get to Buttinsky. Very funny.😆
Slang should not be allowed
This is from 1993.
Wtf?
LOL!
This is from either 1993 or 1994.
93
