Hauh hauh hauh!

I have a word stuck in my head.

"Biomerieux"

It's the company that makes a nucleic acid isolation machine.

We had all been pronouncing it By-Oh-Mer-Ooo, like it rhymes with kangaroo.

But recently the company rep stopped by for maintenance and we learned it was pronounced "Bee-Oh-Merry-Ooo".

So now I say it over and over in a snotty French accent and laugh in a snotty French accent.
