McConaughey
McConaughey is the surname of American actor Matthew McConaughey, known for romantic comedies and later dramatic roles.
The name has become shorthand for his distinctive drawling speech pattern and laid-back Texas persona: He gave the speech in full McConaughey mode—lots of "alright, alright, alright".
The unusual spelling makes it a frequent subject of pronunciation jokes.
