In Colorado and Wyoming it is pronounced KY YOTE with the e silent except for the metro sexuals that have moved in from California and New Jersey.

Same here in KS, though I can't speak for Kansas City or the tree huggers in Lawrence.

Well, I'm not a metrosexual, but I've always pronounced it KI-O-TEE, as nearly everyone here also does. I suppose the Mexican Spanish speakers out west get peeved at all you who pronounce it KI-OTE, since that isn't how the word is pronounced in their native tongue (whilst getting peeved at us easterners, who also butcher it). And, somewhere, is a Nahuatl native who is peeved at all the Mexican Spanish speakers who butcher the word's original pronunciation. ;)
I sure would love it if the pelts went for $100 each. We have gobs of the varmints here and it would make for an enjoyable second income.
KEYE - oat

Well....most of us rednecks in the south..........
Don't know what metrosex is, but we put an "E" on the end of ki-ote.
Now back to this metro stuff, is that kind of like the "Mile high club" but on public transportation or something?????????????????
In Minnesota, it's: "BRUSH - wolf"
Although not so much anymore. I hear "KY - oh - tee" and occasionally "KY - ote" as well as a few derivations and many, many expletives.
Been enjoying this myself.
The word is Spanish in origin, and is pronounced Coy-yow-tay.(the best I can do for Spanish phonetic spelling). But we're a congenial folk here, and we don't mind the occasional furriner calling one a Ky-yote now and then.:)

It's "KY - ote" plain and simple.

I imagine a lot of people East, West, North, and South have seen the old Loonie Tunes Road Runner cartoons with Wile E. Coyote. Coyote is pronounced Koy-o-tee so it rhymes with "Wile E.". It's more a case of Poe-tay-toe, Poe-tah-toe, Toe-may-toe,toe-mah-toe than anything else.
I say it both ways and don't sweat the small stuff.
Rule #1 Don't sweat the small stuff.
Rule #2 It's all small stuff.
It's like the dog with no legs. Don't matter what you call him, he aint coming
I always heard it..
"Don't sweat the petty things."
And..
"Don't pet the sweaty things."
Been enjoying this myself.
at 12:00midnite, when they wake, usually while chasing sumbuddys lap dog or cat, in hopes of an easy dinner, I call 'em "Effing yodel dogs!".
