:::According to my geologist father, 'gneiss' is pronounced as "nice" and 'butte' as "beaut." He also says that buttes are almost never gneiss: gneiss is a metamorphic rock, and buttes are almost always formed from sedimentary rocks. (Gneiss can form bornhardts, which are also bumps of rock, but form by a different process and don't look very similar.)[[User:Sapphie| Variables won't, constants aren't.  (Osborn's Law)]] ([[User talk:Sapphie|talk]]) 00:58, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Another gneiss butte interpretation, that Randall can't possibly have intended because of his politics, is a small hill- much like pregnancy.[[User:Seebert|Seebert]] ([[User talk:Seebert|talk]]) 12:54, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 
:What are you talking about? How does any political position preclude punning about pregnancy?
