Does the drive-thru have a snooty animatronic Mater Dee take your order?
Wait, I thought horse de ovaries were an amuse-bouche?
I had a book when I was a kid (Mud Pies and Other Recipes?) that had a chapter on hors d’ouevres, and my mom told me how to say it. I was a pretty high-falutin’ kid.
I was embarrassing-years-old when I figured out that the word I’d been reading (and pronouncing wrong in my head) were the snack type foods people had been offering me at social functions. I don’t remember for sure when the light turned on, it may have been at a restaurant that had a menu section for them.
In today’s Stupid Idea, how about “Let’s lie about something ridiculously easy to disprove”?
She said: “I haven’t had any other contact with Liz Cheney. She made the one effort and all she said was ‘Hello, Harriet.’ And then that was the end of it.”
Hageman repeated her claim that Cheney did not concede and her spokesperson provided Politico with a video of a phone playing a message apparently from Cheney. The website reported: “The message as played on-screen contains only Cheney’s two-word greeting before sound cuts off for more than 10 more seconds.”
Lie about it, post obviously altered version of it, get called on it.
Myself, I knew they were called “orderves” - my parents were fairly classy people - it’s just that I was way too old when I realized that they and the “hors d’oeuvres” I had read about in books were one and the same.
I’ve been a foodie for awhile and I used crudités with an acquaintance when I was talking about an event that was coming up. Boy howdy, she gave me so much flack about it that I’ve never used it again.
She told me that she didn’t know what that word meant and it was rude for me to use a word like that.
I was very embarrassed.
Apologies for continuing the hijack.
When I moved up here from L.A., a Mexican restaurant in Bellingham had TV commercials. The voiceover was done by what sounded like a college student. She wasn’t full-on Valley Girl, as she wasn’t even born then; but I think you know the ‘young pretty girl’ accent. Anyway, she was touting the restaurant’s arroz con camarones – which she pronounced arrows con camma-ronies.
They were being a bully and you have nothing to be embarrassed about. Just because THEY don’t know a word doesn’t mean that YOU shouldn’t use it.
Yeah, she should have been embarrassed.
Projection yet again. “Well, I wouldn’t have conceded a defeat without innumerable recounts so she wouldn’t have, either. I just didn’t get a clean recording.”
It’s not the fancy word for me.
It’s the idea that - at least in Oz’s world - a crudite is going to include raw asparagus dipped in salsa and served with tequila.
Probably could’ve gone in ‘evil’ thread. (or crazy GOP candidate thread)
The race to the bottom would be fascinating if it wasn’t so, well, scary?
He could be taking the cake, this one.
It didn’t appear in the above post. This guy said that Merrick Garland should be executed, and later, when asked what he meant, said he “was just being facetious”.
Words have meaning, you fuck.
So all Rick Scott claimed was that job seekers who hired on with the IRS would end up losing those jobs?
He didn’t add that those hired could expect, in the GOP-triumphant world that will exist post-November 8, to be prosecuted, deported, or at least audited?
What a lapse. Clearly Rick Scott lacks every quality the Republican Party seeks in its Presidential candidates.
Plainly. He once had the audacity to propose a plan for governing.
(The problem being that the GOP doesn’t want to actually spell out how odious their plans actually are)
Oh, yeah, there had to have been a HUGE amount of GOP angst floating around when Scott spilled the beans like that.
Dems are still using it against them, too–and rightfully so. It IS what the Republicans plan to do, after all.
How the fuck can they leave Carl ‘The Palomino’ Paladino’s love for horse porn off that list?
[irrepressible brief hijack] OMG I had that book, it was great! Left-Handed Mudloaf! Right-Handed Mudloaf! Fried Water!
(Wonder if that maybe couldn’t be republished nowadays due to potential liability issues from kids trying to actually eat the “dishes”.)

Hold on, hold on, make sure you post it befor…AHHHHH HA HA HA HA!
McConnell says Republicans may not win Senate control, citing ‘candidate quality’
Sorry, couldn’t hold it in…
