The one that confused me for years was "raisin" flavored soda and juice boxes. I was well into my teens before I realized that "raisin" was French for "grape."

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think he's got almost every space on his Genre TV Bingo Card filled in at this point.
When I met him at Comic-Con, I was all, "I loved you on Firefly and Battlestar Galactica and The X-Files, " and he was all, "Was I in all those?" He's also got, what, The Middleman and Dollhouse and Leverage and Supernatural and...I think that's all the ones I've seen him in. Perhaps.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
CSI. Which isn't genre, but still, I went "Hey, it's Badger! I mean, Pyro Boy! I mean, Nate's nemesis!"

Thanksgiving without Gourmet - a really beautiful tribute by a former Gourmet staffer.
How does one mourn the loss of a cultural institution? It is a death, to be sure, but the grief is more amorphous, less straightforward, than what you feel for a person. It’s like passing by your childhood home, now in a strange family’s hands; like finding out that the library where you whiled away your adolescence has been torn down. Something you loved dearly is gone forever, and it is beyond your power to get it back. Yesterday, you were part of 69 years of collective wisdom; today, you are meeting with HR; tomorrow, you are once again just another unemployed thirtysomething with a passion for food. Ensign, where’s your ship?
The only possible answer to that question lies in action. You’ve lost Gourmet. What do you do? You cook, of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He was a fun nemesis on Burn Notice, which he played with his main Leverage henchman.

Yeah, he's pretty much got the "every show I love" bingo card filled out too. Now they just need to make him a guest judge on Top Chef.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
He was fantastic in Medium as well.
