The nut is properly called a puh-KAHN. It's important you learn to say it right, or folks who live where they actually grow won't know what the hell you are talking about.

A "Pea-can" is something you carry in the back of the station wagon for long trips.

Peekin is what you do from the front seat.

Best,

North of England (where we invented that greatest of all potato dishes, fish and chips for Pete's sake):

normal talk: taiter
posh talk: pertaiter

"Taiters" is also a term for that part (or those parts) of the male anatomy that lieth beneath the principal item of one's manhood...

Apparantly, Ira Girshwin used to tell a story about a woman
auditioning for a part. She sat at the piano and started playing, whilst
singing: "You say Tomayto, while I say Tomayto/You say Potayto,
while I say Potayto, Tomayto, Tomayto, Potayto, Potayto..." at which
point Ira said, "Thank you Ms. AUR-en-stine, we'll call you."
To which the incensed woman replied, "It's Oh-ren-SHTEEN"
