2. subtle

4. gyro (I never order these because I am afraid of mispronouncing it)
5. jicama (I never cook with these because I have no idea how to say it)
and although I do know the correct pronunciation of the word "crochet," and have never erred aloud with that one, whenever I see it written, my mind automatically reads it as "crotch" and that makes me laugh. Crocheted scarf = crotch scarf, and so forth.

yE-rO
zhir-O
