Favre
Favre is a French surname, most familiar in American English from quarterback Brett Favre, whose career with the Green Bay Packers made him a household name.
The spelling creates pronunciation confusion—it's typically said "farv" rather than as spelled.
He threw it up like Favre in the fourth quarter.
