How do YOU say it?

[The_Don 0]

The pies are wanting to know!

I am NOT being loud.
I'm being enthusiastic!

No break, nearly one syllable.

"pcon"

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Finally someone posted this... if I am referring to the pie I say pea-can or pea-con. If I'm talking about just the nut I say p'con. At least I think that's how I say it, but now I'm wondering if I've over thought this.

I have a buddy who says Pitchburgh instead of Pittsburgh and it drives me nuts.

Also the correct saying of this common phrase is:

"I couldn't care less." NOT "I could care less."

*I am not afraid of dying... I am afraid of missing life.*

I use 2 ways to say 'pecan':

Pea-can pie

and

Puh-cahn (when referring to pecans by themselves)

....I guess the answer to your poll is Pea-can, if just referring to pies...

Pcan (one syllable)

I've had pecan pie, from nuts picked from local trees, when I lived on Pecan Drive in Alamogordo, NM (GF's older son still lives there).

We're not really much for pecan pies over here, but I know it as the colour of my living room walls. It's how paint manufacturers like to describe light brown.
I say 'pea-can', with the emphasis on the first syllable, but a clear 'a' sound in the second.

However I want.

Because...In freshman year (1982), over Thanksgiving break, a friend and I went to central GA and picked the little bastards to earn drinking money. We worked our asses off and it's hard-on-the-back work.

We were paid a lot more than we expected and had funds to buy a large supply of CC that lasted almost the entire year.

After drinking the aches and pain away, I vowed that I will call pecans whatever the hell I want. I also vowed never to drink again, but that was a lie told again and another story.
