I just saw sandial yesterday and told him this story, from nellorat's family: the high school principal introducing a song in the Holiday concert as '"Cha-NUKE-ah, Cha-NUKE-ah", a Jewish Christmas song."

("Cha" here like "Cha-cha". Which, as you point out, is at least as wrong as "Han" like "Han Solo".)
