Popeye used to pronounce the word "president" as "presidink". Popeye had a lot of odd "pronunskiations", of course, but I always suspected that the writer of the Popeye comics was engaging in a little social satire, the way the writers of Rocky and Bullwinkle did at a later date...

I love that kind of thing. Walt Kelly was the master of them all when it came to that. Too bad Pogo isn't around now...think of what he would have done with the last American presidential election brouhaha!
