I still think about how my Cuban former coworker pronounced Popeye the Sailor as poh-pee-yay

One of Pablo Escobar’s lieutenants was nicknamed Popeye. When i first heard it pronounced in spanish I was so confused. To make it even funnier, here in Medellin y’s are pronounced like j’s so here his name is Poh-pay-jay.
