Word: potayto, potahto Part of Speech: intj Etymology: Supposedly uses the American English and British English pronunciations of the word potato, by analogy of tomato (see tomayto, tomahto). Unlike tomato, only the former pronunciation is used in either American or British English. Allusion to George Gershwin's song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off": "You like potato (/pəˈteɪtoʊ/) and I like potato (/pəˈtɑːtoʊ/)". Pronunciation: /pəˈteɪtoʊ pəˈtɑːtoʊ/ 1. That is a distinction without a difference. Labels: informal Example: "He says he has never had a **remission**. You thought he was being smug about 'lack of relapse(s)'." I think it's more like "potato - potahto." No remission to me says unchanging and, hence, no relapse. Example: "Who's whining, pissant? I'm berating!" Potato, potahto.
