Coo Shaw?

We're cooking, grilling ribs ce soir and have some squash too. Enjoying the warm spell after that hellish cold. I called Mouman. I said "hey, how you say squash?"  Now, I had the DLF right in front of me, looking to see, like magic, the word pop out. She said at first, she was watching a show, bleme.  Now the DLF has that. But then she said that's an eggplant.  She called Dad, he was watching World War Z, in the other room, and he said cou-shaw.  Dad is older than Mom and remembers some stuff. Mom got triggered, she said mais yeah, like you say cat. But how you spell it?  I said book has cou croche, but she said, that makes sense, but you say cou-shaw. I know how to say it, that's cool with me.
