A sabot (pronounced /ˈseɪboʊ/ SAY-boh or /ˈsæboʊ/ SAB-oh) (French for a wooden shoe or clog) is a device used in a firearm or cannon to fire a projectile, such as a bullet, that is smaller than the bore diameter, or which must be held in a precise position.

I just call them "those bullets with the plastic thingy on em' ".  Sa-boh or sya-bow or whatever does sound gay so I hillbilly it up to bring back some manliness back into the conversation.  With than said, I am also a grammar snob.  Growing up with a dozen teachers in my family makes me ultra aware of mispronunciations and grammatical errors, but I tend not to correct someone unless it is my wife or kids.

Cannot agree more.

Some of the best advice young adults could be given is the advice to "let" others be wrong.
