Not the worst butchering of an expansion I've heard tho. When Velious first came out I had a friend constantly call it "Velashious". I had no flipping clue what he was talking about, and thought he was having a stroke.
This reminded me....back around velious we had a coworker start playing who butchered a lot of the names. This was a middle aged man and he had his own lexicon going:
Potions were called "portions"
Lake of Ill Omen was "Lake of Ill-e-ome"
Cougar claw earrings were "Courage claw earrings"
And my favorite ....charisma was "chism"

He never made it to Luclin so I'm not sure how he would have translated that one.
