This is probably just as weird to you as it is to me, but apparently this is what gets said:
Wikipedia wrote:The pronunciation of the city's name is a shibboleth, with many residents pronouncing it as "men-ner" and outsiders using the more conventional "men-tore", while in the media and among most residents, "men-ter" is prominent. The city's slogan, "It's better in Mentor," reflects this fact.
Of course, it's possible that Wikipedia just reflects older usage and maybe current Mentor students may feel this is wrong, idk

I originally started this game to be more of a word play game haha. For example, one could say:
Y chromosome under 1/760 of an atmosphere
For Mentor because Y chromosome would refer to men and 1/760 of an atmosphere is a torr.

Clue: a certain political competition that is mixed with a rod afterwards. Div C team.

There's a debate over whether or not the "t" is silent (it is).
