Telofy commented on the word tea cozy
"I don't want any trouble. I just wanna be alone and quiet in a room with a chair and a fireplace and a tea cozy. I don't even know what a tea cozy is, but I want one." – Buffy, BtVS

In north central Florida, USA (The Good Ol' Sunny South) certain folk-pronunciations abound. Cosy is pronounced "coozy". Suite, as in "bedroom suite", is a homophone of the word describing the 2- or 3-piece assemblage of dressy clothing that professional men and women don for work. Sometimes I wince and want to go all Mr. Fawlty on them.
