M&D p. 21 How do YOU pronounce 'Bodine'..?

[Monte Davis]

Hmm... I'd never heard that slang usage. Not sure the French origin helps,
as (cf. the geneaology page I linked) the name there seems to have been
Bodin, with no final 'e' to (mis)lead us either way.

Since the OP I've checked Dick Hill's audiobook reading of AtD, in which
American stoker O.I.C. Bodine of the Stupendica / Emperor Maximilian is
"bo-deen." So much for production notes...
