Loofa? as in the sponge? I think the American pronunciation of "roof" that Zed is referring to uses the same vowel as "book". I don't know how widespread this is, but that is how Oliver Hardy pronounced it. I say "roof" using the same vowel as "root", which is pretty standard this side of the water.
