Pronounciation Poll: Coupon

I say coo-pon while my coworker says kyew-pon. I don't think either way is right or wrong, but I have to admit that the two of us talking to each other (we're in retail) is interesting.

 
thinking about it, i say both... i change pronunciations based on arbitrary changes in mood, accent of people im talking to and basic brain farts. caramel is another i mix pronunciations on as well.

i didnt vote, theres no "both" choice
 
The real question is how do you pronounce "pronounciation?" Is it anything like pronunciation, or does the extra o give it an "ow" sound?
 
people who say kyuupon probably pronounce "been" as "bean" i.e. "Muffy, where have you been? It's been just dreadful waiting for you, and Tucker and Phoebe are going to be late to recitals!"
 
Ghetto: KU-PON
Beverly Hills: I don't think they have Coupons in Beverly Hills but not sure....
Anandtech: Figuring how to pronounce coupon....
Mexico: eh discounta?
