I typically say probably, but if I'm speaking very quickly I'll use prolly.

I usually say either 'probly' or 'probably'.

It's pronounced "pry", as in what you do with a crowbar. Must be a midwestern thing. Or maybe an Ohio thing.

I voted for "prolly", but it's really more like "prally". I love to dig into my short o's.
