ninnyhammer
Regional, perhaps? --Connel MacKenzie 07:31, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's on the dictionaries: ninnyhammer. Besides, I've met this term just yesterday: "The girl my other side was a ninnyhammer: no bosom. I thought these girls with no bosoms were exploded long ago." It's from Patrick O'Brian's "HMS Surprise". The meaning is somewhat different, though. --Dart evader 07:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's in SOED (usage 1592) and was used by Tolkien. Saltmarsh 07:20, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Rfvpassed, in widespread use. --Connel MacKenzie 07:51, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

What does “CA” mean?
In the UK pronunciation section, there is an audio clip of someone pronouncing it like the English do, but it is labeled as “CA”. Convention dictates that CA is for Canada, but that is most certainly not how Canadians pronounce it. Canadians pronounce it the same as Americans, and in fact, the American section just below it even includes Canada. If the CA is supposed to represent another country, then it should be clarified to avoid confusion with Canada. If it is indeed supposed to be Canada, then it should be replaced with a clip of an actual Canadian pronouncing it.
