Bouquet
I just heard a radio commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken in which he was talking about a "boo-kett" of this and that, culminating, of course, in a "boo-kett" of fried chicken. I'll listen closer the next time and try to be more precise, but can there be any other word than "bouquet" that he was trying for? Is it possible, even down here in the south, for a radio announcer to pronounce bouquet as "boo-kett"? Anyone else heard this commercial?

Nah, that's usually pronounced 'boo-kay' (as does the BBC's Hyacinth Bucket of 'Keeping Up Appearances').

From my part of the world, I would assume he was saying "bucket".

No, but I'm inclined to think it a variant pronunciation of "bucket", although a pun on "bouquet" may have been intended. KFC have sold their product

All right, doesn't seem to make sense, but I will listen to it from that perspective next time and see if maybe I just didn't "get it."
