How we pronounce Coyote
Well, I'm not a metrosexual, but I've always pronounced it KI-O-TEE, as nearly everyone here also does. I suppose the Mexican Spanish speakers out west get peeved at all you who pronounce it KI-OTE, since that isn't how the word is pronounced in their native tongue (whilst getting peeved at us easterners, who also butcher it). And, somewhere, is a Nahuatl native who is peeved at all the Mexican Spanish speakers who butcher the word's original pronunciation. ;)
I sure would love it if the pelts went for $100 each. We have gobs of the varmints here and it would make for an enjoyable second income.
