/Sounds like "ah" (as in "art") + "koh" (as in "coat") + "moh" (as in "more") + "DAH" (as in "dart") + "doh" (as in "door")/

“The new manager got the job through the owner's connections; he knows nothing about the industry.”
“You're going to compete against him? He's a nepotism hire; they'll pick him regardless.”
