It's the argument that's going to be tearing the Internet apart.

I think I always attempt at saying it "Turkwoyz" but it sometimes comes out more like "Turkoyz". It's a word I say so infrequently that I don't really know.

Sid James uses that pronunciation often in the Hancock radio episodes, usually in relation to some flashy tie or socks in Mediterranean Mauve.
