Anyone hear tweetie say "Chee-knee"?

[TomInTib]

That's the correct pronounciation.

WH always thought "Chain-ee" sounded stronger, more manly.

Matthews actually corrected himself.

Say 'em both aloud. Pretty funny.

1. Simpson just said "Chee-ney" too...

5. I'm from Wyoming ...

... in fact, I used to manage a Putt Putt golf course in Casper where little Elizabeth and Mary used to come and play miniature golf at least a couple of times a week.

A Democrat way back then (I'm Green, now), we had other very choice names for 'Cheney' ... and this was even before he got elected to the House.

I'm too much of a gentleman to repeat those names.

2. Yep, I heard him. I didn't know that was the correct pronounciation.

I usually don't call him that anyway! My names are always much more derogatory.

3. cheney

I heard him say WEE NEE

[LisaM]

6. I heard Cheney himself say it that way

He said it just got sort of changed to "Chay-nee" over the years. I always pronounce it Cheney, because it rhymes with words like meanie and beanie. Chay-nee doesn't rhyme with anything.
