I deconstruct all commands when used in spoken word, so I pronounce it “change ownership”. I also call ls, “list“ and cd “change directory”. For some reason this completely confuses and disorients everyone in the room.

Do you then read 'dd' as 'disk destoyer' to send chills down people's spines?

I'd say change owner, but I'm with you otherwise. Although I do sometimes say change folder, old habits die hard.
