Makes me think of this:

My understanding is that chitterlings is the correct spelling and chitlins is the correct pronunciation, but so many people spell it chitlins that it has become an acceptable form of the written word.

Having only ever heard that or seen the transliteration, I honestly did not know “chitterlings” is a word.

"Chitterlings" always looks to me like a description of a sound made by a Lovecraftian horror, tbh.
