How do you (personally) pronounce sudo?

Wikipedia gives three possible pronunciations, but I'm curious about which is actually the most common (I say "sue dough".)

"Sue dough". For a long time I didn't realize it was an abbreviation for "super-user do", and by the time I did "sue dough" was stuck in my head.

"Sue dough" and i always think of it as pseudo.

I use "Sue Doo" because it is "As super-user - do this."

I too say soodoo, FWIW.

I too pronounce it Sue Doo, but because first time I read it this was what I made of the word

Soo doh, but perhaps I should start saying sooo do.

I say "sue doo"
