I usually say CASH (Mountain Speek :D)
or should I say "Montin Speek"

BUT My understanding it is Pronounced "CASH-AAAAAAAAAY"



If I lived in the City I'd say Casheesh ;)

" 'kash " I thought "Kash-ay" were those little packets of smelly stuff ladies put in their dainty drawers in their boudoirs.

Or, a Canadian talking about a cache. "You Betcha. I found a cache, ay?"

That is exactly my point. The folks around here pronounce it "CASH-AAAAAY" but according to webster (the link) it is KASH. and drop the AAAAAAY. Although who really cares what you scream when you find one. ;)

A Compass Magnum 420 recently brought back to life. And an untested "in the wild" Teknetics.
Always pronounced it cash (Kash), but then I've driven through Cache Creek, British Columbia many times and its hard not to pick up the pronunciation.

"A s#!t Load of Money" works too ;)

We all know how to pronounce that :D

Years ago one of the magazines had an article
on the proper Pronouncement. This was where I
got my Take.

Intresting side note: (at least to me :P )
Depending on Translator used,

the French say "cachette"
Spanish "reserva" or "escondrijo"
Germans "Cachespeicher" (pronounce That ;D ) or "Pufferspeicher"
Italian for Cache "nascondiglio"
the Dutch "Opslagplaats" or "geheim voorgeheugen"

Around here (Australia) we say (or atleast who I talk to) say Kay-sh (as in 'K'-sh).

That way you can't get confused between finding $10 (cash) and finding $10 million (cache)!

Have fun,

the French say "cachette"

According to Alta Vista Babel Fish. "Cache" ('kash) is French for "hide" and "Cachette" ('kash-aye) is French for "hiding place". So, you find a cache in a cachette. Maybe we should call then "Freedom Hides". :D

"Cachet " ('Ka-she) is French for an official seal on a letter or document

You've got it right, KASH!!!!! But I do hear CATCH too! Next Lesson: PLACER or PLASER? ;)

Joe



Its cash to me, rarely hear someone say "cashay" . For the gold term its placer, pronounced PLASSER, like plaster without the "T".
