As someone mentioned above, the word I remember most (in concerns to not being able to pronounce) is genre. The story behind it is that when I was in grade school, we were given the assignment to start learning what research papers were. For whatever reason, we ended up only writing the introduction and conclusion paragraphs (in retrospect, it seems like that would be the hardest part). Well, I was writing mine on Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (in retrospect, who thought that was a good topic for a grade schooler?). My teacher calls me up to her after we had turned in our assignment, and she goes "Little-Nic, what's a genre?"

"Uh... I dunno. Why?" I knew something was up, but I was hoping for the best.

"You used it in your paper." She wanted to nail me for plagiarizing.

"Oh!!! A gene-ray!" My Little-Nic-self exclaims feeling much more at ease. I knew what that was! But who thought to pronounce it in such a silly French way? "Well, that's grouping of books that are the same. Like she made science fiction instead of just horror!" And I go on.

Looking back on, I suppose I should be flattered that she thought I plagiarized. Regardless, I will always remember how to say "genre."

Ennui is another good one, but I have no clever story from my youth there.

I appreciate you pointing out that it is primarily a LGB list with one possible exception.

Painful typo.
