Not a culinary term but  since this is a venting thread I have to mention how much it irks me when I hear cooking show hosts say: man-aise instead of may-o-naise.

 

 

I think that is geographically cultural. But when I read your post something popped into my head (and -promptly popped out). Finally remembered. The word vinaigrette - eons ago Howard Stern did a several day I think shtick on it. He insisted it was oil and vinaigrette. I can't see the word without laughing. Of course could we just say "oil & vinegar" - remember those cruets on the restaurant table to mix your own? Heck even Subway does that right?
