You had lunch where?

Yesterday a coworker told me he'd had lunch at "that place I can't pronounce, so I call it Blue Lingerie".

You're right, "Blue Lingerie" IS easier to pronounce

In all the trips I've made out to that area, I have never been to one of those. I used to hit Boudin's at the Stanford Shopping Center for yummy sourdough.

When $FormerEmployer was bought by the Mountain View based company I then worked for for the next four-plus years, my new boss came out and I took him and his project manager to dinner at a place on a lake near us called The Blue Heron. He thought until we got there that I had been saying The Blue Hair Inn and was afraid it would be full of senoids. :-)

That's priceless :) (And it reminds me of the people who read "brasserie" as "brassiere")
