I'm looking at synecdoche like "sinneck-douche," but I'm guessing that's not how you say it.

I believe it's "syn-eck-duh-kee".
That word just came up in APE a couple days ago, actually.
Coincidental timing! :)

You have the sinneck part right. Si like in the word sin, and the neck like...neck. However the second part is pronounced ducky (...the animal...).
sineck-ducky
or you could write it like this I suppose...
sinneck-duh key
sineck-ducky
or you could write it like this I suppose...
sinneck-duh key
