I know it's misspelled. I like it that way.
This is actually a Frequently Asked Question :-) But thanks!

In May 2003 Andreas Brantmo asked me if I knew how to pronounce smorgasbord. I replied that Merriam-Webster has a pronunciation. Good enough?
Well, it's good - but not good enough though :)
As a sign of friendship between us I send you the CORRECT pronunciation to avoid any future problems ;)
Explanation:
—Smörgås = Sandwich
—Bord = Table
AND
—Smör = Butter
—Gås = Goose (bird)
So in English it would be "Sandwich Table" or "Butter Goose Table".
