5. Pretty sure the way I say it is correct.... |

My mother (as odd as it sounds for a French based word) is an English teacher and thats the way I've heard her say it.

Seriously, in my long ago French classes it was pronounced like
Bow-Koo

6. Wow, what an unexpected question. If you're an 'merican Vietnam Vet it's BOO-KOO. |

If you're French it's the other way.

7. You are correct - Bo-coo is French, Boo-coo was GI in the old days... |
|
Many Vietnamese spoke French in those days - it was the country's second language because they had been a French colony for many years.
