That beats my “warm clam juice please” all to Hell and back.
I’m eating horehound candy right now.
I hate, hate, hate corny or “cute” names. I’ll usually say “give me the beef one.” Denny’s or IHOP or someone has “Eggs Over My Hammy.” Menus that have numbers make this easier.
Double post because my internet sucks…
I suspect that you can’t order this in the UK with a straight face anymore, either.
Similarly, Paul Simon got the song title “Mother and Child Reunion” from a chicken-and-egg dish he saw on the menu of a Chinese restaurant.
The place I go for lunch doesn’t have any foods with funny names. A hamburger is called a hamburger. A turkey club is called a turkey club. But it’s funny when someone orders a grilled chicken breast sandwich, either in the small or large size. When the sandwich is made, the person who made it will try to find who ordered it.
“Large breast?!? Who ordered the large breast?!? Ma’am, did you have the large breast?!? Hey, I’m holding onto somebody’s large breast!!!”
You wouldn’t really order those two together anyway…
This confuses me. I can’t even get my mouth to say an r after a long o, starting with an h unless I make “Hor” at least 2 and maybe even 3 syllables.
To me, whore and Hor(licks) would rhyme with more, poor, for, sore, door, bore, core. Please give me some examples of a pronunciation that would not rhyme with those words, that would make Hor one syllable.
