OP Dear Faldage,
The worst offenders in this were the French who pronounced quamquam [kãkã]. This pronunciation was later spelled cancan and came to mean a disreputable performance.....
What did quamquam originally mean--before its transition into that deliciously disreputable dance?
Highest kicks out of these words,
OrB~
