Oh... See wikipedia definition,

From Wikipedia[^]

SQL (/ˈɛs kjuː ˈɛl/ "S-Q-L")... This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language),...The acronym SEQUEL was later changed to SQL

And so was the pronuntiation... :laugh:

Cn't help, it's a funny Shakespearan quote, but AFAIK, it is, - "Thou puking ill-breeding giglet!"... Though I haven't read all of his books.

"quiche" looks like "quickie" and sounds like "keesh". :doh:
