Okay, you will never actually use this word outside of historical novels about the navy, but it is a neat word nonetheless.
You must not have any family what works on ships, else you'd hear it lots.

Heh. Now I'll think of it that way, and giggle like a 12-year-old. Before I'd just thought, "sequin with an M."
I'd never actually thought of it that way (the vulgar way--see quim was PERFECTLY INNOCENT in my head) until, literally, when I typed it upthread. Now I can't stop giggling at it.

Ah, yes, pizzicato. "Ow. Ow. Ow. Okay, boring, and also, ow!"
I still distinctly remember this thing--good Lord, I think I even remember the name, it was "Festique"--that I played in middle school where the violas repeated the same measure something like fifty-seven times. I can still hum it, fourteen years later.

We have a Cairo (KAY -ro) around here and Havana that's sometimes pronounced HEYvana, depending on who you talk to.

Ann, that's a ferret.
NOTHING is more fun than saying "Titicaca."
How about saying "Mukwonago"?

Now tagless for your comfort.
How about saying "Mukwonago"?
Mukwonago. Titicaca. Nope. Titicaca wins. It's like you're saying something dirty when you're not.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
People in the upper peninsula of Michigan pronounce "creek" as "crick".
Also, a street in Detroit: Gratiot pronounced "Gra-shit"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I live next to New London. Guess what the big river running through New London is? Yes, the Thames. Guess how we say "Thames"? Hint: the first phonic is the same as the word "think". Boy was it embarassing to try to explain this to my British friends.
