In the Soup

Many people are making fun of Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for saying in an interview, "Now we have Nancy Pelosi's gazpacho police spying on members of Congress." Yes, she confused the Nazi secret police, the Gestapo, with a Spanish soup.

But I think the far-right flake was onto something. I dislike gazpacho—I believe it SHOULD be policed.

Yes, That's How America Should Be

Linguistic Boo-Boo

My Romanian sister-in-law speaks terrific English.  As a banker, Julie has occasionally needed to use the phrase "in arrears." She just told me how she used to believe the phrase was pronounced "in the rear."

She thought that for quite a while, so I have to assume she never said those words to a gay man. His raucous laughter would've tipped her off the minute she warned, "If you don't pay this credit card bill, the bank will have you in the rear."
