In its very proper pronounciation in 'Hochdeutsch' or 'high German' the word is pronounced bockig, the 'ig sound at the end of the word is very similarto the ending in the English word 'colic'. If the speaker is from, fro example, the Frankfurt area of Germany, then the word will be pronounced 'bokish'- the 'bok' part of the word like in bok choy, the 'ish' part of the word like in 'fish'. To a listener not too familiar with German, the word could sound like 'bookish'. Hopefully my explanation makes sense to you. I've always found it difficult to describe what a word sounds like, because like everywhere else in the world, there are many different dialects in Germany and each region has its own quirky pronounciations of words. BTW, since I am German I can definitely agree with your dad's sign. It is so true. :-) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Depending on the dialect used by the person pronouncing this word it may sound to American ears as "bockish". The meaning of the word describes a person who is stubborn and bucks against the rules. The German noun "Bock" translates as buck, ram, or billy-goat. Bockig is the adjective of this word and means stubborn, obstinate or pigheaded. "Bockig" is still used in German today. Hope this is the word you were looking for. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
