I don't know, but Japanese is sukoshi [a little bit], and it seems that a lot of u's do not get vocalized in Japanese.

I just thought of this one. My car insurance policy has a provision for accidents caused by a "phantom land motor vehicle", which basically means, hit and run, offending car unidentified, but it does not apply if the offending vehicle is an airplane or a boat.

I've always wanted to drive a car with "Phantomland" license plates on it. "Phantom" is a beautiful word, isn't it?

I'd also like to have a bumper sticker that says "Professional driver, closed course. Do not attempt".
