I also said "goo-dee" for years before hearing another person say it and pronounce it as "gow-dee"... I've only ever heard it pronounced that way since.
Ahhh... Good to know. I thought it was goo-dee too. Dang.

"Gooooo-dee..... gooo-dee... goo-dee.. goo-dee!!" (said in same cadence as Animal House toga chant). I guess us San Franciscans think alike. I now feel empowered to bring goo-dee back into my life.

BTW- how about another offense fueled come back tonight! These are not your 2010-2012 Giants.

Default Goudey
I have French Louisiana relatives who would say that it is pronounced goo-'DAY, but I'm not about to walk up to a dealer table in TX and pronounce it like that. The price would go up 4 fold. In TX they call them Gowdys like Howdy.

I solved the problem a long time ago by simply saying "Sweet CAP"

All my friends who smoke Sweet Caps seem to say,

"Got-ta-lite" ?

I was yelled at by this 900 year-old guy at the National three years ago in Baltimore for saying Christy MATTHEW-son. "Everyone knows it's Christy MATH-E-SON young man".
