    Company I work for is based in Buda but everyone pronounces it “byooduh”.

      I defer to you then. I just know it’s not Booduh like it god damned well should be. Was reminded elsewhere in this thread that we also have a Ne-VAY-duh in Texas, to say nothing of the Native American placenames that almost every state has specifically to fuck with newcomers, even though they undoubtedly moved from a state that has its own examples.

        Lol, that’s what I thought it was until they corrected me on the phone. I don’t live anywhere near there but that’s how they say it to me.
