How do you pronounce "Coupon" ?

What is the right way to pronounce "coupon" in English?

Note: I am interested in knowing the right way, and not the accepted ways.

coo - pawn?
coo - pun?
co - pawn?
co - pun?

any other?

.

Coo - pon

Of those 4 only the first looks right. I've never heard the other three. But I did hear

queue - pawn

I agree with queue-pon, though I would have written it q-pon.

and the o is pronounced as in oh or as in aw ?

.

I pronounce it to rhyme with "grey poupon". Or rather the help does. I seldom have to pronounce things myself these days.

Would you mind PMing me the name of your typist...I rather fancy the way he [or she] constructs your sentences.

Neither.

Coop
On.


The 'o' sound is the one made from the back of the throat (although this might depend on accent, I suppose).

Ah, for me then it's more like aw than oh.

I don't know what all I can make from the back of my throat apart from lumps of white/brownish stuff, but I shall try and produce this sound from there as well.

I'll mention it to a footman during the hors d'oeuvres.

Its pronounced: "grill me a frankfurter clown"

cow pun

Koo-pun! or Queue-pon, depending on the person who's listening to me.
