  It’s a normal O, no accent. It’s the name of a place, not really translatable. The argument is, prononciation of “posay” is nowhere near to “pussy” if you pronounce it the regular French way.

  It’s prononced more like “pause-hay”.

    So, pronouncing pussy but in a funny exaggerated way? I’m imaging Turk from scrubs describing what he did over the weekend to JD.

      It’s a “O” sound followed by a “Z” sound. So, if you have a really, really weird way of pronouncing “pussy”, I guess.

        To be fair, it’s about how I’d imagine inspector Clouseau pronouncing ‘pussy’, so it tracks

  So basically, it’s the name of a village, and they have rocks there.

  It’s not about the translation, it’s about the pronunciation.
