Comments on Thursday 11 October 2001:
Pizza Hut must die, for their advertisement which says something along the lines of "In Beverly Hills, they pay for stuff with gold bouillon." It's enunciated very clearly, so you can be quite certain that it doesn't say bullion. Apparently this particular mistake is rife throughout America, and I blame Pizza Hut. [22:10]

I think I have some bouillon wrapped with gold-colored foil in my kitchen cupboard somewhere. I'll find it and we can order some pizza.

Please give an "exaggerating for comic effect" percentage for this entry. I am lost.

Today, there is approximately a 0% chance of exaggeration.

To clarify; there are two distinct vowel-sounds before the L-sound, in the pizza-hut ad. Two syllables. I believe "boui" has two syllables. I don't believe "bu" has.
However, I was exaggerating about the necessity of death. In reality, they must just be injured.

Tom
I wonder if this is related in any way to the American pronunciation of 'buoy'? /boo-ee/, or something along those lines. Every word that involves a 'bu' must be pronounced in as peculiar way as is possible, and any vowels following the 'u' should be advanced one place - thus 'o' becomes 'e', 'e' becomes 'a', and so on. Extra syllables win bonus points.

RavenBlack
That's booeellshit.
