If you suspect someone of being ukronazi, spell it in Polish "Kijów" (pronounced something like Keyoov), that would really piss them.

For some reason I thought of Kraków, and foreigners pronouncing it as Crack Cow.

It's correct pronounciation though, or at least should be considering what's happening there.
