I’m really surprised you’ve heard of Ferengis, as I thought that was just a local(NW) thing. Do they sell thos chocolates elsewhere at Christmas as well?
I’ll forgive you your culinary confusion. Frango is a kind of almond paste. It would be pretty awesome with chocolate, though.
Smile when you say that, pardner. Kringle is the sound spurs make, or the pleasant sound of coins in your pocket.
I was in a tropical jingle, once. Although, it was probably closer to a rainforest.
If you were anywhere near the Jungle, you were obviously in Switzerland – specifically, in the vicinity of the third-highest peak in the Bernese Alps. The name is German for “young woman”.
Why would a Swiss person Jungfrau? I thought touching one’s forehead to the ground was primarily a Japanese display of worship or extreme deference?
No, a kowtow is indeed an administrative region of Switzerland - a bit like a county.
Are you looking at my grocery list? I need a loaf of bread, a canton of milk, and a stick of butter.
How could you get something that wrong? Carton was an ancient empire that was ultimately destroyed by Rome. Hannibal, of crossing the Alps with elephants fame came from there.
ETA: Bilge. Ninja’d!
A carton is an animation, like this old favorite from “Sesame Street” *
*Links to the “Loaf of bread, carton of milk. . .” sequence.

No, carthage is like wholesale slaughter - such as a massive multi-vehicle road accident or a school shooting.
I was going for frangipane. 
Anyhoo, Malacandra is wrong. He’s thinking of carnage, part of a phrase that translates as “Sieze the day.”
No, no, a carpe is a freshwater fish related to the barbie. 
So now we’re resorting to using euphemisms for excrement? As in “So and so is full of carp.”
I’m pretty sure you mean crap, a thin pancake sometimes served doused with brandy and set aflame.
But surely a crepe is an undesirable person with poor hygiene and social skills?
That would be a creep, as in the creeping willow tree.
Funny you should mention willows. I think you’re thinking of the word weep, which is what willows make me do. In the spring, their pollen triggers my asthma and I cough and weep.
Ah, Wheeze! That show in which Mary Louise Parker stars as a marijuana-dealin’ mama!
I think you’re confusing it with weeds, which is a generic term for any place with lots of trees in it.
