Help Prospects Settle a Debate: Macka-back-us or ma-cabacus?

Hi senior Chimps, Monkeys, ex prospects,

Me and my co intern are debating pretty hard about whether macabacus is pronounced "Macka-Back-Us" or "Ma-Cabacus". 

How do you guys pronounce it? 

I always thought it was ma-cabacus but apparently his entire team says it the other way.

Thanks in advance. SBs to all who say ma-cabacus.

The correct pronunciation is “muh-KAB-uh-kus” (ma-CAB-a-cus).
