Popty-ping!

Things I learned at the pub:

The Welsh word for microwave is popty-ping, from popty, meaning oven or bakery, and the microwave sound PING.

That is by far the coolest Welsh word ever, and I will be keeping that one for future use.

How do you pronounce that? Like it's spelled? Because no other Welsh words sound like they look.

pop-tee-ping... in other words just like it looks!

Most fun word to say EVER.
