Most east coasters call it Kayshing. For some reason Crow-eaters say it the same way as the Americans - Cashing.
But then you guys go 'donking' to the 'Deli' eating 'fritz' sandwiches.

So who says what? Does it vary from state to state?
What do you think it should be?[/b]

You're wrong!

And 80% of us think so.

Oy - anybody calling it "Cashing" here in SA is in a definite minority.
Infact, I can't think of anybody that goes cashing here off the top of my head...
...and what on earth is 'donking'? Maybe I haven't been here long enough to have noticed that one.

kash is correct according to the Oxford English dictionary:
cache
/kash/
* noun 1 a hidden store of things. 2 Computing an auxiliary memory from which high-speed retrieval is possible.
* verb store in a cache.
ORIGIN French, from cacher "to hide".
It is just a bizarre coincidence that the Septics also got it right.

I say it 'kaysh' - not overly fond of the NA (septic, love that term!) pronunciation, it sounds like I am going to the bank...
One gal here (a friend unfortunately) keeps 'correcting' me - practically yelling it at me each time. I am so close to smacking some sense into her. It's a word, it's pronunciation, unless you are saying 'grewupit' instead of cache, who cares?

Well said. And will you post pics of the smacking?
CoolAid used to call it catching - made sense to him.

I have to agree. I'm a crow-eater, have been all my life, and I don't know of any SA cachers that pronounce it like the merkins do. In fact, I don't know ANY SA people, muggle or not, that pronounce the word "kash" rather than "kaysh" - ie "clear the kaysh on your computer"
I also have no idea what 'donking' is. What????

...
What IS a crow eater?
To me it sounds like a group of people who are ALWAYS wrong and having to apologize!
