Is it "Kack-ee", or "Car-key"?

Terri Irwin was just on TV, promoting something-or-other which "Steve was passionate about!"

Ok.

She exhorted us all to wear "kak-ee"... that greeny-beige colour which keeps the Irwin family wardrobe easy to organise.

Now, I always thought that Australians pronounced khaki, to sound like "car-key", not "kack-ee".

Which way do you pronounce it?

I found it a teensy bit annoying to have a yank promoting an Australian cultural icon and getting it wrong.

But it's all in a good cause, I suppose, so churlish of me to take issue with it.

No, just curious. Always curious.

Your mother not knowing how to pronouce Khaki is a dire sign for the future of Bindi.

This will lead to a cocaine habit.

Poor Bindi.

Since when was Khaki Australian?

Maybe its the lack of coffee talking, but that was the funniest thing I've read all day

Okay, hold on now. See, you're telling me that you put these little guys in boiling water and they shriek and they turn red and they die. That is the most metal thing I ever heard in my whole life. High five.

Wait, wait...don't you normally vocalise your distaste of spam?

This is just as spammy as any other spam thread.
