Ah, the much-maligned candy corn... candy. Doesn't taste like corn. Or look much like corn. Kinda the top part looks like a corn kernel, so I guess you could pack a bunch of them together and fake it. Anyway, I like 'em somehow. People like to cut on the CC but dammit, they're tasty.
@jsh139@Kleineleh@Trask@matthew I just checked several dictionaries (some with audio). It's consistently "uh" (short "u" or schwa). The only variant (and I find it generally secondary) is to put a little "y" between the "n" and the "u". As for being a tough room, I think we're still a little frustrated about the poorly smashed pumpkin.
how about that thing that sits on the Dinner Table, that you know one of the little kids will pick up and march around the living room blowing into it like a trumpet
Would popped popcorn be in a Corn Utopia? Or is that more a Post A-popped-alyptic Corn Dystopia?
Move over Hank Harland! The Komedy Kornhole has a new headliner: @Thumperchick
@matthew, I think you need to please send Glen to an oral surgeon - his lips are coming apart at the seam... I feel awful for him!
@curtise Also, how is he going to eat those candy corns? He has no throat opening!
@curtise Glen has always been a little unhinged.

@jsh139 This is just a little bit of awesome!
Does anyone actually pronounce it corn-you-cope-ee-uh? I always heard it pronounced as corn-uh-cope-ee-uh. Maybe it's a regional thing.
@jsh139 I was thinking the same thing, except without the regional dialect excuse. I just thought he says it weird.
@jsh139 I'm with ya. Here in the Midwest it's always been pronounced with the "uh", not the "you"
Tough room! (I pronounce "tough" to rhyme with "plow")

@joelmw We hold grudges here, I tell ya!
@matthew I'm thoroughly sorry! (I pronounce that like "thorufflee")
@jsh139 Why not "corn-ooh-copia?"
@PocketBrain That sounds better than corn-you-copia, for sure.
Thanks for setting folks straight on the crappiness of candy corn, @matthew. Sorry, @PocketBrain. ;-p
