As I rarely wear them -- much too formal, you see.....
Apparently, They're NOT pronounced /bau-tee/ and /tof-fit/, "bautee" and "toffit".
They're pronounced like two words, each: "Boe" "Tie" and "Top" "Hat".
Bowtie and Tophat. Things you wear that aren't pronounced the way they're written.
Weird.
Whatever; I'm off to watch the poloponies.
