• muskox commented on the word poutine

  Although poutine is a wonderful dish by itself, it can be used to augment the flaor and nutritional value of many other foods. For example, consider the following exchange:

  Waiter: What would you like for dinner?

  Hungry ninja: I'll start with the pork chops with applesauce and bannock.

  Waiter: Would you like to *poutine* that order? (Ed. note - emphasis added)

  Hungry ninja (reluctantly, inevitably): Yeah, sure.

  Note that the hungry ninja has just placed an order for chops, applesauce, hearty griddle-fried cakes of bread, all smothered in gravy and cheese curds.

• muskox commented on the word commando

  1. Not wearing underpants.

  2. A state of vestment that leaves certain extremeties exposed or unclothed (used as a modifier), as in:

  "It's not so cold and windy today, so I'll forgo the balaclava and go face commando."

  "Wading across this icy river makes me wish I hadn't decided to go foot commando."

  Note that usage (1) is a special case of usage (2), with underpants the inferred item of missing clothing.
