Welsh rarebit. Some humorless twit didn't get the original joke about Welsh rabbit being a piece of bread with some cheese and beer poured over it.

reduced calorie ice cream

They used to call it what is was - "Ice Milk". Gov't regulations won't let them call it that anymore.

Another reason to hate my mom. That was her idea of dinner. Didn't know what it was. But I couldn't eat it.

quote:

In pre-revolutionary New England and into the American Revolutionary War, some pork cuts (not those highly valued, or "high on the hog," like loin and ham) were packed into casks or barrels (also known as "butts") for storage and shipment. The way the hog shoulder was cut in the Boston area became known in other regions as "Boston butt". In the UK it is known as "pork hand and spring", or simply "pork hand".


just so you know that it is not a misnomer
