I went with more of a "Hack-louie(t)". God, I'm such a fucking American

I'm a big fan of the way Americans pronounce all the vowels. Like for "buoy" you say "booey" and we just say "boy".

It's funny for French, it's France french that does the over pronounciation of everything.

You assume there is a "correct" way to pronounce it.  Congressman Rick Boucher pronounces his name BOW-chur.  I worked with a guy who had the same last name and pronounced it boo-SHAY.

This morning, a gentleman in his 60s came into the office to discuss his health insurance coverage, what he owed, and how much of his deductible he still had to pay. One of our customer service guys, a middle-aged black man known as "Dappy Dan" because of how well he dresses, went through everything with him.

As he left, our receptionist, a young black man who is very chipper and pleasant, kindly asked him if everything worked out for him. To which the gentleman replied - directly to both men helping him - that he "had enough left to buy a basketball and a watermelon with", and then stormed out, smirking.

WTF??

Louisville, KY is more or less how you would say it.

Not a bad idea if you're the type to have a decent emergency savings. Paycheck-to-paycheck not so much.
