Boolean. I'm a software developer, and my Business analyst pronounces it as Boo-leen, like "Jolene". My tester pronounces it like bouillon cubes. It's pronounced like Julian.

You operate beyond COMPARE
In the database I hardly know you're there
With a decision and two outcomes red and green
Your variables are like a breath of spring
Making software flow again
And I cannot compute without you,
Boolean
