Buckle. I've never heard it pronounced any other way.

Dental and nursing trained here. From what I've heard, dental pronounces it buckle- as it pertains to a tooth surface and cheek mucosa, medical usually pronounces it beuckle. The correct is buckle, but always an inside chuckle to hear it pronounced wrong by many. Kinda like duey-den-um vs. doo-aud-nem or fem-er-al vs. fe-moral. It all depends on where you train...

Buckle. That's all I've ever heard. And doo - AHD - enum. We could go on and on here!!!

Comment:
I've only ever pronounced it byu-kill
