Rhymes with "honky." I haven't heard it any other way, personally...
Though my wife can't pronounce a short "O" in some cases. She says "hunk" instead of "honk"

Is it "Dou-Che" Bag ? Or "Douche" but pronounced like "Tush"?
This is driving me crazy. Please help me to figure this out or I am going to shove bamboo shoots up my fingernails.

Dictionaries even them handy "pronunciation keys" . those are considered definitive of the vernacular at the time. Get aquainted, please.
Oh, and before someone asks.... Nuclear: it is pronounced Noo-clee-ar. Not Noo-quoo-lurr.
My former boss, a legit engineer, actually consistently pronounced it wrong. I used to want to punch him vigorously.
