I think we should rename guacamole. Nobody can say it. Even my Mexican-American friends have trouble with it. I know I hesitate before saying it. I'll ask myself, should I pronounce it correctly, or butcher it like most people? Gwakamolie. I'm looking for suggestions. Mexican dipping sauce? Nah.
I get embarrassed when I hear it on television, or when I hear someone say it in public. They don't even try to say it right. It makes them sound unsophisticated when they butcher it. So, I'm proposing that we change the name, or at least the spelling. "Rock-a-molay," which is closer to how it's suppose to be said. Or, even better, "walk-a-molay," which is pretty close to saying it correctly. Here's one more, hold it ... "wok-a-molay."
