I knew a girl who was raised in a small town in the middle of nowhere, without TV or movies, but she read a lot. She had so many things like that. Yosemite rhymed with hose-mite.

I know Yosemite, from Yosemite Sam cartoons :)

That was actually the context of when she said it - she read the bugs bunny comic books (which I didn't know existed) and said that character's name.

My family has Swedish relatives that pronounced it "Yohss-meet."
