When I am king, "pee can" pronouncers will be first against the wall.

EDIT: And Canadians.

A Pee-can is where you piss.

A puh-can is something you eat.


FYI the Southern Goddess Paula Deen says pee-can.

walk into the stores at some of the orchards around the area, use all three pronunciations and watch their face. This will tell you the correct pronunciation.

HA HA Then they will start chunking pecans at your head.

In Texas it is puh-con and I should know. I am the expert. When people call from other states they don't even know what I am saying when I say pecan. Of course, those are the less than intelligent ones in the "Deep South."
