How do you pronounce chicanery? Do you soften the a, as in Chicano? No! This term, meaning "trickery" or "disturbance of the peace," is etymologically unrelated to Chicano. It is, however, a linguistic relative of the name of those concrete parking lot barriers called chicanes. This is part of a complete episode.
