Coupon Pronunciation

I'm not sure if this is a regional thing or not. I've heard it both ways. How do you say it?

Admittedly I probably say both but I think I say que-pon more often

Idk why he typed it like that. Q-pon, or cue-pon is what he was going for

I used to be q-pon...majority of my life. But I was sick of getting disciplined for that, so I switched to coo-pon. But really, I only say it the way Ron White does "coop-ins!" with a high voice inflection...

I had it as q-pon but then I found this article and changed it to what they had.

Probably should be queue-pon

What are the other words with 'c-o-u' where it's pronounced Q

A "coup" is pronounced 'koo' (silent P)

So you all are wrong.

Its Koo-on.

Coo-pon

This poll is strangely divided relatively evenly. I did not expect that.

Also, coo-pon.

The English language is full of exceptions where the pronunciation doesn't make sense.

Coo-anon

I have no issue with either pronunciation. I think I’ve used both, but I typically say coo-pon.

In front of a vowel, the consonant is spoken. (I know, there goes the joke…)

French, baby.

Coo-pon.
