Was it someone who had only read the word before? In which case they have my sympathy - I know I've come out with some of these myself before.
Distantly related - I am still wary of the word oxymoron, after our cruel English lecturer told us the correct pronunciation was "ock-ZIM-erron". Which lets face it, makes as much sense as the way you pronouce hyperbole. I will still avoid saying it - the correct pronunciation sounds wrong to me.
