I think it is safe to say that kids these days still say your anus. And the standard American pronunciation has been your-uh-nus so that hasn't really changed in decades.
In England, however, the historically standard pronunciation has changed in recent decades. However, the historically standard pronuncation there was closer to urine us which still had centuries of school kids in stitches, I'm sure.
After listening to a day of stupidity on the topic (I'll make sure not to watch the Colber Report tonight since I don't need to go through that again, it was barely funny last week) I just wish the IAU would leave it be since they are trying to create a scientific definition for a socially created word.
