The name, at least, is brilliant!

An English nursery rhyme inspired the name: "Polly puts the kettle on, Sukey takes it off again."

(As for people debating the pronounciation, there's obviously no debate, because nursery rhymes are oral texts. If it's a nursery rhyme then everyone who knows it knows how to pronounce it. But even apart from that, x-ukey isn't an ambiguous form in English. Say you disliked a movie so much that it made you want to vomit. Would you describe it as "pucky"?)




What do you call a piece of meat with blood coming out of it?

Bloody.

What do you call a piece of fruit with a lot of juice in it?

Juicy.

What do you call a wound that's extruding pus?

Uh-oh.
