The group I Unix with pronounce it fiss-ick, falling back to f-s-c-k if that provokes a
blank stare.

Bunch of guys at Computer Graphics Lab (at New York Institute of

I always pronounced it "fisk" and am happy that newer
filesystems have minimized the need for a stop-and-fisk policy.

FWIW. When it was written, Ted and I used pronounced it as “fisk” (rhymes
with
“disk”), but F. S. C. K. was always acceptable to my ears. I admit I
smiled one time when I heard some one call it “f-sick” but that was not
considered the proper pronunciation.
