Jackieville, where Spam has two syllables: Spayam ! Yeah, spam has two syllables. I've also been meaning to report here that the other night our organist told us about one time when she was teaching in an elementary school, she was walking down the hall when she overheard a second-grade (i.e., 7-yr.-olds) teacher giving a spelling lesson. The word was "it". The teacher said, "Listen to the sounds of the letters. This word has two syllables: ee-ut."

Backronym = The Pook means The Person Of Obscure Knowledge. (unless I guessed that right ;-) ). You didn't, it's impossible to guess the orgin of The Pook, but I like that. Perhaps I should adopt it. However, it is not strictly speaking a bacronym, since like the programming language Perl, Pook has never actually been an acronym.
