The Wikipedia article on basically has all the info. 'Knecht' means servant, 'land' means land. It's used in 'Landsknecht' to indicate someone from the low lands as opposed to someone from the Alps region (Swiss mercenaries were elite troops). Your explanation of the pronunciation is good, although it's hard to approximate the German 'ch' sound using English. For those of you who know Japanese, the consonant part of ひ and ふ comes close (but further back towards the throat).

Aww, that's right. There's even a wikipedia article on it. *blinks* If there is, that makes it even MORE irresponsible to use land.shark!! >_<

Me, I just know it from reading a few old fantasy books when I was younger. A bunch of compilation short stories and the like and a middle school friend used the term.

I'm pretty sure -LANDSHARK BANNED- was an snl skit. Which means calling a landsknecht a skit is doing them an disservice. Those mercenaries prided themselves on their prowess, so I'm pretty sure they would appreciate that.

Although the Swiss might.

They just don't seem to have actually read the word... I mean, when I first saw it I thought "What the--?" but when I read it properly I quickly realised it was just the words "Lands" and "Knecht" and that "Knecht" was a slightly changed spelling of "Knight". You can even remember it as "Lance Knight", since that's one of the meanings it took on after a while, if I correctly recall what I read in that Wikipedia article yesterday.

Noobaour? I haven't heard that one before.

I'll go ahead and say I'm against it. To be a rebel.
