Somerset? 
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

I had to look that up - I am not a fan of that genre. I was scarred for life when we had to study Lord of the Flies in school.

I say it like the name Jason, but I know a couple of people who spell it out. And one who spells out the letters (e.g. J-A-Y E-S-S O-H N). He's rather annoying.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Okay, I thought I was the only person who felt that way.
It actually caused a recent night out to go downhill. Clever girl, attractive, energetic. We were talking about what we do and what we had focused on in school. Then she said it... the computer class that made the most sense to her was "S-Q-L".
Reflexively and without even thinking I replied "Oh, SQL! Yeah, have to deal with that all the time."
"No, I mean S-Q-L." she corrected me.
So I took a sip of my drink while I quickly collected my thoughts, nodded and explained it to her.
Yep, that's me. Athlete's tongue.

The "sequel" pronunciation was deemed obsolete in 1985-86 by ISO and ANSI since the Hawker-Sidley aircraft corporation trademarked SEQUEL for one of their planes. While the 2 pronunciations are acceptable, it's a more common tradition to refer to the language as "S-Q-L" while referring to the database server as "sequel server" - at least among my generation of programmers.
Referring to the previous reply above about Jason Vorhees - I saw the original Friday 13th at a drive-in theater when I was a kid. I too was scared spitless, but no one, I mean no one I know pronounces it as "Jay-sawn"; that is just wrong.

I always pronounce "SQL" as "squirrel," but that's just me.

I think you might have found a few extra consonants lying about.  Or like me are easily distract... squirrel!

Yeah, I've always been a little ... Oh, look, an SQL!

Sorry folks. I cringe when I hear someone talk of sequel servers. Agh!!!!

Sounds like a bad case of foot-in-mouth disease, too.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Wish I could take credit but I honestly can't remember where I first heard it. "I stick my foot in my mouth so often that I've got athlete's tongue."
