Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Isn't that (more or less) "chap-a-tooliss"?
The first time I ate at Commanders Palace, I asked the waiter what I was eating (it was a corporate dinner), and I thought he had some sort of weird impediment, because it sounded like he kept saying "veal chop chop au Tulis", or something. It was actually veal chop Tchoupatoulis.

clabberd = clapboard. I have heard people pronouce it clap-board -- but they were very very wrong.

Ann, that's a ferret.
And of course, Staunton (VA) and Taunton (MA) do NOT rhyme.

I'm reading tv guide insider and clicked to go to the JoA piece and got a very pretty Wonderfalls dvd pop-up ad!

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Anyone get into arguements over "orange"? Some people I know pronounce it "OR-ange" and others say "ARE-ange".

Cheers. I am an ignoramus no more.
What gets dropped from waistcoat? I've never heard it shortened. Perhaps it's an American thing?

What do you drop from clapboard?
You drop the P and sort of squish the board part: clab-bird.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
Like clapboard, waistcoat, forecastle, boatswain.
What am I doing wrong? The way I'm saying the first three, I think I'm pronouncing all the syllables. I have slight doubts about my pronunciation of the third, because my pronunciation is based only on reading it and not hearing it, and I think the fourth sounds something like "bosun." But the first two especially... where is there a dropped syllable?
Also, is there no love for the funkiness that is "colonel?"
