    Don't be jealous.

    But I admit that "geoduck" (mentioned by Hahnsoo1) stumped me. How the hell does someone get "gooey-duck" from that spelling? I guess "geographical" is actually pronounced "gooey-graphical"? That's just unfair.
    The shitty pronunciation is not even the worst thing about geoduck. The worst thing is that it looks like a clam with a giant dick. Also I assume it tastes bad. Just a terrible animal in every sense.
    Actually, geoduck trafficking was a problem because it was highly in-demand in China (article from 2012):

    Considering all the weird, terrible shit they consider "food" over there, I think you're just validating my point.

    This just in, people in different cultures have different tastes than you, and this doesn't mean what they eat is "weird, terrible shit" or something other than food.

    This is often true, but sometimes it really is "weird, terrible shit". Take, for example, stinky tofu. Or stinkheads- which are part of my cultural/ethnic heritage, by the way. Or, while we're on the subject of native Alaskan cuisine, muktuk.

    Toasted termites or maggot-ridden cheese, I think I could handle. But some stuff should simply not be eaten if you have a choice.

    I'm not a nice guy, I just play one in real life.

    For example: Arby's.

    I finally remembered a word that I always pronounced wrong when I read it: awry. Read as Awe-ree

    Even though I new what awry meant I didn't realize how it was spelled, and never put two and two together. For far longer than I care to admit.
