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!".

And..
"Don't pet the sweaty things."

I say it both ways and don't sweat the small stuff. (reply)

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 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.

It's "KY - ote" plain and simple. (reply)

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.:)

In Minnesota, it's: "BRUSH - wolf" (reply)

Hoot — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 23:21:31 +0000

Although not so much anymore. I hear "KY - oh - tee" and occasionally "KY - ote" as well as a few derivations and many, many expletives.

Well....most of us rednecks in the south.......... (reply)

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?????????????????

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.

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

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.
