What is the weirdest way you've ever heard someone pronounce something?

That's not something that's very easy to explain, I don't know how things are on the other side of the fence so to speak. Everyone knew I was bright growing up but they thought I was very lazy, I didn't do well at school no exceptional grades. I took the adult (invigilated) Mensa exam when I was 13 just out of curiosity. Came out at 175 which for that age was unheard of. I think I had about 4 hours for the exams, I’m sure I was done in an hour or less. I remember being very bored waiting for the adults to finish and the next section to be given out. Mensa told the newspapers and TV, life got tricky. I was very shy and posed for only one photo for the Mail On Sunday newspaper. I turned down all the TV. Every single newspaper made up every word about me other than the IQ score and where I lived. To cut a long story short I was offered scholarships and what not all over the place which I also turned down. I just wanted to be a normal kid. Failed out of Sixth form with pretty much no grades. I was eventually check for Dyslexia at 19 and supposedly diagnosed but I'm not sure I believe that, I think my head just has trouble getting things out onto paper. Bummed around from job to job doing IT work. Eventually got picked up for government security work which I do to this day. Days are long because I need my head occupied every second, I don’t really sleep. My job takes about 10% of my mental resources. I don’t enjoy my work. Basically it’s a free pass, I don’t have to try near as hard as anyone else for the same rewards. That in itself is very unrewarding. But If I could drop back 30 points or so, I wouldn’t. I never tell anyone in real life they either think you’re lying or want you to do tricks. I actually spoke about this once on here years ago but with the search functions as they are, there’s not much point trying to find it. Any specific questions? I’m happy to answer.
