If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

To answer this poor persons question:

showee

Because a shoe-ee is want you put on your foot-ee;D

It's a Japanese company, so I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be "Show - ai"  ("ai" like what Fonze says)

But Americans can pretty much bastardize the pronunciation of anything.   ;D

I heard Wayne Gardner talking about them on TV the other day and that's how he pronounced it. Not saying he was right, but it is better than how I was saying it.  ;)

What about that little college up the road from you??? :-X


Seeing as to how that school isn't associated with the mayo, I'd have to say that it falls into the "not worth a shit" catagory.


And I've always pronounced Duc as "duck".

I always say Duck... like the sound they make sitting at the light in neutral...  "duckduckduckduck"

I thought KTM named that bike after the glorious Ducati. :P

KTM [bow_down] DUCATI

Now, do you guys say "dook," or "dyook"? (paying careful attention to the placement of the quotation marks w/r/t the punctuation)
