The name, at least, is brilliant!
An English nursery rhyme inspired the name: "Polly puts the kettle on, Sukey takes it off again."
(As for people debating the pronounciation, there's obviously no debate, because nursery rhymes are oral texts. If it's a nursery rhyme then everyone who knows it knows how to pronounce it. But even apart from that, x-ukey isn't an ambiguous form in English. Say you disliked a movie so much that it made you want to vomit. Would you describe it as "pucky"?)
- pavel_lishin 16y agoWhat do you call a piece of meat with blood coming out of it? Bloody. What do you call a piece of fruit with a lot of juice in it? Juicy. What do you call a wound that's extruding pus? Uh-oh.
