More on Peau de Soie

I already knew that peau, as in peau de soie or peau d'orange, means skin and is of French origin. My husband, ever the cunning linguist, just pointed out to me that it was pronounced "po." I could not resist looking it up, so I checked the Bartleby/American Heritage Dictionary website and there was a audio clip of the pronunciation of Peau de Soie!
