Douche [doosh] and Deutsche [doi-chuh, doich] are not pronounced the same. Very different, but it may be how it sounds to some. I've added a link a redneck pronounciation test, just incase I may be wrong Are You a Yankee or a Rebel? Southern Accent Test

We know how we pronounce it:
It's Ponss de LEahn not PonzAy dAy LeOn (for the guy who was looking for the fountain of youth), and it's dooshmark, dooshland.
And while I'm at it yank's mispronounce sherbet all the time. It's like sure-bet with the accent on the sure. Not shurburt.

One of my aunts was from Germany and she pronounced a shower and the word for the feminine product the same. She called them both a dush with a short u sounding like umbrella.
Thanks for the link! . I took one such test and it said I am from Philadelphia.
