Puh kahn or pay kahn if you're a coonass.

Edit: cosmos graphic shows pick kahn which is probably a better way to write it

If you ask me how to pronounce it, it's 'puh/pi-cawn".

However I sarcastically said it as pee-can WAY too much and it has become almost natural; I accidentally say it that way often now and need to wash my mouth out with soap.

Do that many people really stress the "e" in pecan as much as that map makes it look like?

Puh-kahn.

And can anyone confirm this for me? In my plant ID class at LSU I was told the cajun term was "le pecané savage." I'm not sure if the professor was bullshitting us or not.
