Oh, sure... put me on the spot

Evelyn has some friends over, and she walks into my room...

E: I need to borrow you for 10-seconds

Me: What? Why?

E: I need you to say a name for me

Me: Umm.... what?

E: Just.. come here.

So I get up and follow her into the other room.

E: Say the name of the hawaiian fish.

Me: Oh... gosh... let me think on that... (trying to remember the name of the fish)

E: Oh! Don't let me down!!!

One of Ev's friends: oh, sure put her on the spot...

Me: It's something like humuhukuapuaa... oh gosh, let me check (I go back to my room to look up the name of the fish)

Google: Hawaiian State Fish

"humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa" And I did my best to remember it as I walked down the hall to tell them.

I got halfway down the hall before I had to go back and look at it.

Once I thought I had it down (again), they made me say it like 5 times.

Me: Don't ask me to spell it or even tell you where the accent goes

And I had to say it again about 4 times so Evelyn could say it too.

Gah...

Challenge: say "humuhumunukunukuapua'a" 5 times fast! Ha.

"The reef, rectangular, or wedge-tail triggerfish, also known by its Hawaiian name, humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa, also spelled Humuhumunukunukuapua'a or just humuhumu for short; meaning "fish that grunts like a pig" for the sound it makes when cornered or caught" - photo and blurb courtesy of wikipedia
