Gyro. And I've looked up how to pronounce it and I get so many different answers. :(

In the states at least, I think it's definitely an "whatever way you wanna say it" kind of word.

I grew up saying jy-ro, but I worked in the Greek restaurant that introduced me to them in the first place, and I think the actual proper pronunciation is yee-ro. That said, it always threw me off when I had customers come in and order, what sounded to my ears, like a "hero."

I've heard jeer-oh, jy-roh, hero, yeer-oh. I just try not to order it.

It's a popular food in my culture. I've always pronounced it gy (like the ge in gear) ro (roh).

My mom lived in Greece for a while and has always said yee-ro, but sometimes has to say jy-ro here in the states for anyone to know wht she means.

Definitely 'hyperbole', and a student was the one to correct me. Tres embarrassing.

I learned how that one was pronounced from one of the first episodes of Buffy. Then I spent a while using it as my online name.
