Random poll

I'm Canadian and I say coo-pon. So does everyone I know.

Who knows, maybe we don't know what we're talking a-boot

how about "coo-pin" like that comedian Tator Salad, lol. This is a fun word at my house!

we had never heard "coo-pin" (or coo-pon) before that comedy bit - so now we use it as a joke too!!!!

It's very possible that while growing up in Canada the word coupon never came up with anyone other than his mom. Once he moved to the states and started living and shopping on his own he probably started hearing it a lot more, but apparently I was the first (and only ) person he's met who says cooopon.

Okay, your question just made me realize a strange trait I have which forced me to vote OTHER.
I have one coo-pon, but lots of Q-pons.
Go figure, I never would have thought about that without this poll, but apparently I change the pronounciation based on whether or not it's plural.

I actually say it both ways.

me too!

Ditto, so "other" for me.

Me too. It's the only word I can think of that I pronounce both of the common ways. And it's random; I don't seem to make a conscious decision about it .
