"Numbuh" is an intentional misspelling of the word "Number" that is used as the standard numerical designation for KND operatives. Throughout the series, the word "Number/Numbuh" is constantly spoken, usually without a clear "r" sound but without an emphasis on the lack of an r, as it often comes across in real life due to people's tendency to passively leave certain sounds out of words. Sometimes, it is clearly pronounced with an "r" sound, while other times, the sound is clearly and deliberately dropped. The title for Operation: N.O.-P.O.W.U.H., also replaced the "ER" with "UH".
