1. The nut is a "pe-CAHN." You use them to make "PEE-can" pie.

4. You beat me

Great scene. :)

5. Scene? Huh?

I'm afraid I may be a bit culturally illiterate here....

[redqueen]

6. Hmmmm

Maybe that's NOT from When Harry Met Sally, then!

There's a scene where he's saying PEE-can pie... cheesy and goofy, but it works for me.

9. I haven't seen that movie in over a decade...

...I now refuse to watch anything starring Meg Ryan (although there is a special-dispensation exepmtion for "Joe Versus the Volcano").

[Magrittes Pipe]

16. She has annoyed me with her crappy acting in crappy films.

I'm sure she's a lovely woman, but I'm not gonna pick through shit in the hopes of finding an intact nut.

11. I'm inclined to agree with Mr. whoisalhedges

And I consider myself an authority on how to pronounce this word. I lived in South Georgia for 4 years. Those are my credentials. Impeccable, I know.....

2. I kinda pronounce it...

...with an accent on BOTH syllables, sort of like saying PEE CAN--only faster.

10. Old, old joke

A northern feller went into a southern general store. He asked the proprietor, "Do you have any pecans (peecans)." The owner said, "No sir, but we have some mighty fine slop jars."

12. I don't. I'm allergic.
