I shall now endeavor to use the words in the previous post in one sentence: (Uh-hum...clearing throat...)

Dionysus dined on octupus while discussing antidisestablishmentarianism with a duckbill platypus.

Berenice or anyone else who might know. Last night I made Sveeedish Meatballs, which got me thinking. What is the correct pronunciation of this word...Worcestershire?
I pronounce it like Mick Jagger does on one of his live albums. I figured he knows. Everyone I know pronounces it differently. Some people even add extra syllables like in an episode of the King of Queens. Will someone spell it out phonetically for this sometimes thick American.

Saucy

I didn't have time to check these so I hope I am not copying anyone. I love to throw around the term, "he beat him like a red headed stepchild!" I don't know why I like it. It just always seemed funny to me. It's my "white trash" side coming out........

Flummery. Another one of those words that just doesn't get as much use as it ought to.
