Pennyy

Pennyy: adjective. Something that resembles a penny. While the definition is easy enough to understand, the pronunciation is less so. Some people stress the last vowel, some people simply make it longer and some don't pronounce it at all, claiming that the two ys cancel each other out. This, however, is only a small sample. Other pronunciations include the following: "peeny," "pinny," "pennnyyy," "pinyin" and "pe'y."
