Quiz time: is this a “pie-knee” or a “pee-oh-knee” where you are?

@Armchaircouch @Samanthabwriter

Same. Originally from San Francisco, but parents were from the Midwest, and I've also lived in New England and the south, so I'm not sure where I picked it up.

@Agatha @Armchaircouch I picked it up from my grandmother, who was raised in northern Kentucky.

@Samanthabwriter pee-oh-nee. never heard it pronounced pie-nee

we call them pee-on-me because that's what the dog does...

@Samanthabwriter My sisters and I just talked about the pie-knee pronunciation. We thought maybe it was just particular to where we grew up. Our parents grew up in Kansas and when we moved to Indiana, my mom thought the pie-knee pronunciation was strange. Neighbors had never heard the pee-oh-knee way.
So, is pie-knee common besides in Indiana???
