9. Wasn't "bocce"....
one of the languages C-3PO could speak in "Star Wars"?



Bocce is one of the best outdoor, beer-drinking games ever made, next to golf.

I've heard pronounced several ways

boe-chay
boe-chee
bah-chay
bah-chee

Which is it?

13. most commonly
"bah-chee"

technically, in Italian, it'd be "BOE-chay"

But I've always heard bah-chee

14. That explains a lot
My Italian in-laws say "boe-chay" but my Swedish in-laws say "bah-chee." Should have trusted those closest to the source.
