Your word is pronounced "Co-burn," like the actor. Of course, if you've been sunbathing without clothing, that term might apply.
Some years ago I was in a gastroenterogolist's office the place where you go to get a colonoscopy. A old man came who said his name was Reino Aho.
He pronounced the first name as Renal like referring to Kidneys and the last name as a long A + hoe.
