For TV nerds, better known as "a fictional race on the television series Stargate SG-1" (Wikipedia). The WeirdNet definition is (typically) the least used one.

I enjoy how MacGyver always mispronounced this word. Everyone else on the cast at least tried to pronounce it.

Yeah, it's like how everyone pronounced Goa'uld differently, with no in-show explanation for the variance. Drives me crazy!!

I think the mispronunciation was actually kind of funny. It was kind of like how people might pronounce tomato or coupon. I do wish they had at least had one person point it out.
