I read this somewhere:

"She has a certain je ne sais quoi, but I don't know what it is." Came to me again last night for some reason.

On the other hand, "ATM machine" makes my eyes roll.

I recently heard "adult beverage" to describe, well...adult beverages.

I also like Tom Waites' The Piano Has Been Drinking lyrics, especially, "a mental midget with the IQ of a fence-post". That description has come in handy a lot lately.

"Naugahyde" has such an old world sound to it that evokes an artisan's craftmanship. And yet it's vinyl. But it's a great word so kudos to the marketers who named it.

Another marketing term is "rich Corinthian leather" which I had no idea Chrysler just made up to sell cars. I thought it was some specific imported material, like Carrara marble. Ricardo Montalbán, you crafty spokesman, you! I was fooled and fooled again by you and your captivating accent...but I wanted to be!

Reminds me of the movie "Theres something about Mary", it means I don't know what....perhaps intrigue.

"Naugahyde" I remember its introduction I'm thinking during the 70s?? Very .....

[TKramar]

Yes, knowing what it means is what makes the line funny to me.

Naugahyde, how many of those little naugas did that have to kill to make that couch? They're aquatic creatures, right? About the size of an otter? And they have farms of them up in like New York or that area (Naugatuck)?
