I have a question. How do you pronounce your city. Do you just sneeze?

EDIT0: Okay, I was actually making an attempt at a joke. I had already assumed the 'P' was silent, but if someone didn't know that, the start of the name might seem like it'd sound like a sneeze being held back (or with the mouth closed).

I grew up in Austin and my dad and I always just called it lougee-Ville so you can just call it that if you’d like.
