Lock-cus.

My Year 10 tutor converted me from:

Saying low-cus to lock-cus.

It would be an interesting concept that the pronunciation of a word, but not the spelling, should change to reflect a different sense. *shrug*

I always thought the correct pronunciaton was 'low-cus' but I've been converted to 'Lock-us' because of my Maths Teacher :s

Low-cus. I don't get laughed at about it though.

Just how you say fock-us, it's lock-us.

This was a running joke for about a year for me.

Lock-us sounds so retarded/funny. Whenever my teachers use it i can't help but have a little laugh

our teacher has an accent so we though why is she saying lock-us? But yes, apparently that's the correct pronunciation.
