>>8767919That is bullshit.
German pronunciation of Koch is /k?x/
English pronunciation of coke is /ko?k/ (American) or /k??k/ (RP)
English pronunciation of cock is /k?k/ (American), /k??k/ (American), or /k?k/ (RP)
Furthermore, if you put the English words cock and coke into German pronunciation, you get /k?k/ and /ko?k/. In this way, the 'cock' pronunciation is even more similar.
Which is more similar? Cock, obviously. Whoever arbitrarily decided that Koch = coke probably giggles whenever he says cock.
