That response reminds me - back when I was a kid in the 9th grade, we had a new (to the school system) English teacher. He was a little off, but well meaning, I guess.

Anyway, one day his exasperation with the class became evident, and he spelled out on the blackboard, “G-O-V-E-R-N-M-E-N-T” (without the dashes - I put that in there for dramatic effect, but he did use all caps), and commenced to teach us anew:

“Repeat after me, class! GOV-ERN-MENT! GOVVV-ERNNNN-MENT!”

In unison, the class replied, “guvament”!
