There's a town in New Jersey next to Plainfield where I grew up (Union County, Central Jersey) that has become legendary for mispronunciation, I've even seen jokes about it at the national level. Piscataway. It's an old Amerindian (Delaware) name...(pis-CAT-away). So why's that so difficult? I always loved saying it, has a nice rhythm and flow, simply mellifluous IMO. Then, of course, there were the intentional miscues like "piss-the-cat-away", and other variations.
