Ah
Jian Gomeshi says "Pokiston". And not like "pahk"; "pock". I've heard Saskatchewohn and Eye-raq and, Lolabola's favourite, Eye-talian, but Pokiston is a new one to me. Is he Pakistani? Because maybe he's just saying it properly. Like when you hear someone say "brusketta". But he was just interviewing someone from Pakistan and it didn't sound to me like that person was saying Pokiston. Hmm.

hey turns out brusketta vs brushetta is a regional pronunciation. as lectured to me by my sis after talking to her Italian mother in law.
if you find out the Pakistan bit, do tell.
Jian's bio says his background is Iranian. I had always thought India. What do I know? Definitely not that bit about the bruschetta! That's interesting.
