No, no, you got wrong. It's "turn your obverse and cough", then "thermo-nuclear toning"

So the original owner got hit wi' some radiation, then coughed on the coin to give it it's color?

 

I know you are joking, but I am a nuke-ular physicist myself. My nuke-ular physics professor pronounced it as "nuke-ular," and many of the people I work with also do. I know GW caught a lot of flak for that, but many people really do say it that way. It *really* irks me when people make fun of our Southern accents and think we are ignorant because we talk just a little bit different than y'all.

 

I was doing a contract job at a Nuclear Power plant in Connecticut. And the people there called it jokingly "Un-Clear".

 

LOL

 

Well, in Indiana & Michigan, people say Veehickle not vehicle. In Boston, they just say Cah.

Having lived in the mid-west, west coast, east coast and southeast, I've enjoyed listening to the local accents. I could actually tell a Georgia drawl from an Alabama drawl. Good stuff.
