Other most-often-heard mispronunciations of "Cystic Fibrosis" 

So ... I was watching the movie The Book of Stars the other day, with Mary Stuart Masterson, and Jena Malone as her 15 year-old, cystic-fibrosis-sick sister.

They mentioned "sister fibrosis" as what they both thought it was when they were younger.  Though they hit that one, the movie never mentioned even once the ubiquitous Sixty-Five Roses for some reason).

While I was watching the movie (which was VERY VERY good I might add) all these other "mispronunciations" kept popping into my head.  So what the hey ... I wrote 'em down.

And here they are....
