The pronunciation for the Japanese word for "munch" is "puck." The U.S. version of the "Pac-Man" video game was going to be named "Puck-Man" based on the fact that the main character proceeds around the screen munching everything. This designation was changed to the current version of "Pac-Man" out of the bizarre belief on the part of the makers of the game that some American teenagers would intentionally mispronounce the original version of the name.
