I refuse to call "Arkansas" as are-can-saw ... how the hell do you get "saw" out of "sas"... no it is ark-can-sass ... I will die on this hill.
@AncientGood yea the accepted pronunciation is "are can saw"
@freemo @AncientGood
Arrrr Kahn Sus!
@freemo I could never quite get my head around that one too, but okay, I'm only a European. What do I know?
@sergeant You need a few kicks to the head from a mule before you can understand our southern pronunciations :)

From Wikipedia:
"The early Spanish or French explorers of the state gave it its name, which is probably a phonetic spelling of the Illinois tribe's name for the Quapaw people, who lived downriver from them."
So, blame it on the French. Or the Spaniards. Or both!
@kilroy_was_here I usually just assume its the french's fault fromt he get go anyway
@freemo wait, do people really say it with a saw? O.o
