[edit] Pronunciation
I know how it's really pronounced... I was wondering how people unfamiliar with the word think it's pronounced. --Brandon Dilbeck 02:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
- Oh, I see. According to this, some people pronounce it as "py-AL-up", such that the first syllable rhymes with "buy". --Brandon Dilbeck 21:31, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
It is commonly pronounced, such as by telemarketers and other solicitors, as "poo-YAL-up."
I doubt the claim that this is the only city in the USA that begins and ends with the letter "p". There are a lot of cities out there. One that immediately came to mind is Pahrump, NV. Was this just a joke claim? Should the claim be removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.193.240.144 (talk) 18:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] History of name?
One thing has always bothered me... how the HECK did this place get its name??? It always looks/sounds like "Pull y'all up" to me. 164.67.151.60 (talk) 22:07, 4 March 2008 (UTC)Moebius
[edit] External links
Per WP:NOT#REPOSITORY and WP:EL#Links normally to be avoided, I've purged the linkfarm that had developed at this site, and in its place inserted a link to Puyallup, Washington at the Open Directory Project. Per WP policies and guidelines, dmoz is an accepted repository that can be linked from WP for storing large collections of external links. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
