RX: "Tofu phở would be faux phở. And if you made it with a poodle, it'd be Fifi phở..."
Me: "...and if you used soy poodle substitute, it'd be faux Fifi phở..."
RX: "Add a splash of Bacardi and you'd have faux Fifi phở rum! And if you didn't like it, you'd say 'Fie, faux Fifi phở rum!'"
And, yes, we're mispronouncing it, but it's not funny unless you do.
You two should be ashamed of yourselves. Punning like that in public ... it ain't natural. Or decent.
ReplyDeleteYou gals need to get out more. Hanging out with the normals a little bit, from time to time, as long as you don't over-do it, can be a steadying influence, I have found.

ReplyDeletePleased to be of assistance.

@Joanna...Their hallway is in the PUBLIC! Had I known...
ReplyDeleteFey fifi fuh! Try a splash of Stroh 80 and you get fifi-on-flambeaux.
ReplyDeleteSo if I made Pho, and put wan-ton in it... would I have made Pho Tons?
ReplyDeleteAnd if I put the pho-soaked wantons in a long bun, would I have made a Pho Ton Torpedo?
