Our most common one is DUSTY CHALLENGER for DUSKY CHALLENGER.  A lot of
local growers seem to get their tongues tangled trying to say dusky
challenger and are more familiar with Dusty as a first name.  Then there
are the Duke's winners, as in "I don't understand why Silverada [sic]
won the Duke's award".
