OK I know it gets asked from time to time, but we have a new crop of new
students on the bbs including myself. How do you pronounce "boke?" Do
you
put the emphasis on the first or second syllyble? Also, I think it refers
to the blur behind my focused subject. Is this correct?

It is also commonly spelled "bokeh," which gives you a better clue for
pronunciation.
Either way works depending on where you are in the world, but around here,
more folks will recognize "bokeh" than "boke."
