skipvia That sounds even more crude. You can't win with this word. If you pronounced it incorrectly, it sounds like "crud." If you pronounce it properly, it sounds like "crude." Either way...
Still, I suppose it's better than horse's ovaries. (Which horse is she talking about--or did she mean "horses' ovaries?") Oct 24, 2007
chained_bear I call them crudities.
Does that make them more appetizing, skipvia?
;) Oct 24, 2007
skipvia Ironically, crudite is not a very appetizing word. Oct 24, 2007
reesetee That's what my Mom says too! In fact, I was just about to say that.
Creepy. ;-) Oct 24, 2007
reesetee Yarb, I know someone who pronounces it that way and really doesn't know it's supposed to be pronounced differently. The first time, I thought she was kidding. The second time, I stopped giggling. Oct 24, 2007
chained_bear My mom always used to say "horse's ovaries." Oct 24, 2007
trivet Mmmm...horse doovers. Oct 24, 2007
yarb Try pronouncing this to rhyme with luddite if you want to embarrass a posh party host. E.g. "Hey Lucretia, have you got any vino to wash these crudites down with?" Oct 24, 2007
chained_bear The great part is, it isn't even declaring itself to be a cookbook or anything like it--it's the outlook for crudites... WTF? Oct 24, 2007
