For the longest time I accepted that pronunciation, but in recent years I have grown rather disenchanted with it - largely due to the fact that the letter 'H' is not pronounced as clearly as it is written. I believe a more appropriate pronunciation would go something like this:

KIN-EYE-JJJJJJ-HHHHHH-IT

(You know you're saying it right when you're feeling like you're about to have a heart attack.)

That's the whole idea.

They're French. They can't handle sounding the letter h.

(I might have also heard an old old old English pronunciation that went 'ki-NEET,' but I can't remember where.)
