When our friends Heide and Sally recently prepared an entire wonderful dinner and served it for us in our own home (what a beautiful thing to do), I heard the word "charcuterie" [shahr-KOOT-uh-ree] for the first time. The main course was varied delicious dressed meats purchased in a specialty delicatessen and called charcuterie.
Of course in looking it up in Merriam-Webster online, I caught what I guess they thought would be helpful to a budding poet, words that rhyme with charcuterie. Now how many staff plumbed their bottomless vocabularies to come up with the following list! Probably everybody was out on deck for this one.
The only thing more hilariously ridiculous than the list itself is the odds you'd find the need for it:
