The one that I mispronounced for awhile was hyperbole. I thought it was pronounced like "hyper bowl."
Epitome and Penchant for me. Mocked mercilessly for those two.
So apparently for the latter you can just claim to be using the american pronunciation https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/penchant
All mispronunciations can be defended with linguistic descriptivism. It's usually a pissweak argument though!
