How, really, do people pronounce PostgreSQL?

I've read the politically correct answer, "Post-Gres-Q-L" but it's
such a mouthful, such a day's work to pronounce, that there must be a
real street pronunciation, or a number of them, that are not being
confessed to.

They say that SQL should be pronounced "Sequel" and I've even met
people who do that.  The need for a simple pronunciation with many
fewer than 4 syllables seems more urgent for PostgreSQL.

"Pig Swill" is an easy guess.  It is quite catchy and simple.  But I
wonder if there are other, perhaps more flattering pronunciations.

Do you have a snappy pronunciation and what is it?  I'd be interested
in what the babble is at your PostgreSQL site.
