pronunciation chickenshit 

worried whether to use what you know to be the proper pronunciation of a name and seem pretentious to some, or to use the name’s more common mispronunciation and seem a dunce to others
I’m always a pronunciation chickenshit when it comes to “Vincent van Gogh”.

Also, is found to be a last name. (Not to be mispronounced & mistaked for the human organ)

professor pronunciation 

The unusual pronunciation of common words by university professors.
My history professor says "Po-land" instead of "Poland." Is it really the land of the Po?

I thought "God" rhymed with "odd" but my professor says "Gah-haw-d" as if it had three syllables.

Dude, that's professor pronunciation; get used to it.

flaqualate [pronounced flack-a- late] 

The word is flaqualate. This word has been very useful to a number of people in describing a feeling, and an action.
A woman walked outside to sit by the grass. There she found a bird on the ground who flapped and struggled and stressed and could not improve her condition. She could not re compose herself or fly. The woman was concerned and took the bird to a vet and asked for help. The next day she told me the story of this bird and tried to describe the (ascribed) feelings and real actions of this little bird. She created this new word.
I flaqualate over my mortgage payment being due. I don't have enough money.
Someone will flaqualate because his ex wife is yelling about the kids.
The boss is a pain and he will cause the entire department to flaqualate ( be unable to take action)
I had a flaqualtory response to that movie, It was a real psychological thriller.
My flaqualations went on for hours, but finally I no longer felt so crazy.
Even though the judge said it was okay, I found myself flaqualating for a while.
The neighbors began to flaqualate over my barking dog, so they called the cops to try and make me flaqualate too. Didn't work. I don't care.

You pronounced this nonsense. Not me. 

A phrase used to politely tell a person: "You're a delusional fucking idiot, I'm not dealing with you anymore." Usually used as a way of ending internet arguments with people who say insane shit.

This phrase was first used by some russian official (who gives a fuck about his name?) on Twitter, when the user LivFaustDieJung pointed out that this official's tweet basically implied that russia's justification for bombing Ukrainian civilians was that there was an "internal" conflict in Donbas, and some people died as a result.
By responding with "You pronounced this nonsense. Not me." this shitface tried to claim that what LivFaustDieJung said was just some made up BS, even though, in reality, they only reiterated his original tweet.

This phrase, however, was seized by NAFO, who started using it as a response to shut down russian trolls.
