It’s for a film from Quebec with English subtitles. The French title is La Grande Seduction and the English title is Seducing Dr. Lewis . The scene is a remote Quebec fishing village where the villagers are trying to lure a doctor to come live in their community. One of the many tricks they use is to play on Dr. Lewis’ love of the game of cricket. Of course most of the villagers have never heard of cricket. “That’s disgusting. I mean, sushi is bad enough” says one. When told cricket is a sport he asks “They race them?” Here’s a link to a YouTube trailer for the movie where the villagers are making a mess of a game of cricket. There seems to be only a little confusion in the dictionaries over the word cricket. Or should I say words c...

Red Bicyclette Rose makes for an easy ride
From: theboozebuzz.com

Straddling the line between wine and Hi-C. The French Rose from Red Bicyclette first drew me in with its vibrant pink color. Usually I don’t go for pink drinks, but this 2006 vintage made for decent after-dinner drinking. The blend of syrah, grenache and cinsault grapes in the French rose are grown in Gard and Aude. These bring out definite profiles of strawberry and raspberry, but the wine retains a pleasant dryness that keeps it from being too sticky-sweet. This wine is more ... more

Pre-Jack-O-Lanterns-Sun-Kist, photo by mdprovost. Wikipedia’s pumpkin entry says: The word pumpkin originates from the word pepon, which is Greek for “large melon.” The French adapted this word to pompon, which the British changed to pompion and later American colonists changed that to the word we use today, “pumpkin.” The origin of pumpkins is not known, although pumpkins [...]... more

People who study language professionally agree that there is no such thing as an ideal synonym, for it is virtually impossible to find two words or phrases that are identical in denotation (meaning), connotation, frequency, familiarity, and appropriateness... more

foible - podictionary 724
From: podictionary.com
Post Date: 2008-03-13 22:01:28

We all have our foibles. We all have them but more than likely they are invisible to us and the foibles of others are what we can see more clearly. A foible is a minor fault; a small weakness; an imperfection. The word itself comes from French where it was once the French form of feeble. That makes sense, a personal flaw or character weakness is named after the French word for “weakness.” Foible and feeble even sound the same don’t they? Looking at feeble and it&... more
parsimonious - podictionary 723

Grammar Girl says her least favorite word is parsimonious . To her it combines the words parse —as in to parse your words—with sanctimonious . Actually I touched on the etymology of parsimonious back in the episode on silhouette when I said people don’t use the word every day. What I said there was parsimonious means “cheap” and came from a Latin root parcere meaning “to save.” I’ll dig a little deeper today and also turn up a deliciously unexpected relat... more
nepotism - podictionary 722

This is an image of Pope Sixtus IV who was pope back in the 1400s. The reason he’s here is because he is the first pope mentioned in a book that brought our word nepotism into English. In the painting the pope is seated with five other guys milling around him. These five guys are his nephews. It was the habit of popes in those days to give good jobs to their nephews. Two of the guys hanging out with him there were made cardinals and one of those two went on to become Pope Ju... more

Yesterday I talked about courage and then about Dutch courage. Today I’ll talk about Dutch . But I’ll start out with Dutch courage. I’ve said that it is generally held to be an insult against the Dutch, meaning the courage you only get when you have a few drinks inside you. I mentioned the first citation in the OED as being from Sir Walter Scott in 1826. Walter Scott wrote a story called Woodstock, or the Cavalier and it was a story about how King Charles II was... more
