Also found this great quote which might solve your problem.
"I went into the living room to cue up Good Will Hunting, the video we'd rented for our viewing pleasure this fine evening. So, we sit down to watch it, she unwraps a Fudgsicle, and then proceeds to call it what she has called it for the twenty years that I've known her - a "Fudgicle".
"Viv. It's 'Fudgsicle'. Not 'Fudgicle'."
"Fudgicle."
"You don't say 'Popicle', you say 'Popsicle', right?"
"I say 'Fudgicle'."
Twenty years, kids.
There's a scene in Good Will Hunting where Robin Williams is telling Matt Damon that it's the little things, the idiosyncrasies in a relationship that make them special, sublime and intimate. He waxes nostalgic about the depth of feeling for the simplest of details. This point is not lost on me. As a forty-one-year-old man who picks his fights I've decided to compromise.
I leaned over and assured her that no matter how mistaken she may be in her pronunciation, no matter how much embarrassment it may cause in social situations, from now on she should feel free to call them "Chocolate Flavored Frozen Dairy Desserts On A Stick" and there wouldn't be a problem.
She offered no rebuttal. She just looked back at me in her own special way, sublime and intimate.
