bilby Anyone want to do a chilisauce list? Aug 29, 2008
lampbane I was trying to remember the name of the third sauce! I knew there was more than mild and hot, I just couldn't remember what the next step was. I just loved the progression. Aug 29, 2008
seanahan Actually, Taco Bell has a hotter sauce than hot, known as fire. It still isn't up to wild sauce at BW3s, but it is a considerable improvement. Aug 29, 2008
lampbane Funny, my ex-boyfriend actually asked the same thing, and I was thrown for a loop. Weaksauce is one of those words that I guess doesn't make a strong impression when you first hear it, but it worms its way into your vocabulary anyway.
So no, I didn't invent the word. My best guess is that I first saw it on some video game site. Aug 29, 2008
trivet I hear it most often as a descriptor for a lackluster event/effort. Aug 28, 2008

Perfect word for this, Lampbane. Did you invent it, or see it somewhere? Aug 28, 2008
lampbane The mild needs more capsaicin. Aug 28, 2008
