Topic tags/keywords: humor question bocote

Is it Bo-coat? Or is it Bo-coat-tay? Or maybe Bo-caught-tay?

We all have to start somewhere, right? =]

If it’s Spanish in origin, then Charlie is right, Bo – COE -tay, putting a stress on the second syllable.

An American derivative is probably Bow – coat- TEE just because it’s rolls off the tongue cleaner during an English conversations.
