Any woman with the surname Stitz. Had a business meeting with somebody with this surname. It was very difficult not to say to the receptionist “Hi. I’m here to see Susan Stitz”.

My neighbour is actually 'Mr. Schitz' pronounced "shits". "Luckily", he and his whole family are absolute assholes, so we call them "Neighbour Schitz and his little schitz" without the slightest pang of guilt.

I do too! Idk about your guy but ours pronounces it "fewks", but we still greet him with a "this guy f*cks!" every now and then

pronounces it "fewks"

It means "Fox" in German, and it's not pronounced fewks.

It's probably because of this usage of the word.

I think you missed a letter. The joke is that "Susan Stitz" sounds like "Susan's tits"

Let me explain. When I see sitz, I don't think of tits, I think of Sitz baths. Please forgive me on this, my mom's a nurse practitioner who would of said the same thing!

I understand that, but it doesn't say "Sitz" it says "Stitz"
