Best Answer

It isn't spelled funny - it's pronounced funny. The sausage we know as bologna originated in Bologna, Italy, and is (to be stuffy) properly pronounced boh-LO-nuh. Common American usage adapted that into "baloney", which is so widespread it is futile to try and change it. The reason manufacturers don't put the word "baloney" on the label is because that word also means "nonsense" or "horse hockey" in colloquial English.
