TankHughes commented on the word tyuyamunite
I misspelled tyuyamunite in an adult spelling bee a few years ago. It was pronounced as "T"-"U"-ya-moon-ite, something a gangster would say. I never had a chance. It's named after Tyuya-Muyun, the city in Kyrgyzstan where it was discovered. I'm always hoping it will come up in conversation.
