SO relieved to have news of my Lamar. Of course, I'm sorry he's locked up again but at least he's being showered.

Our family mondegreen was to mispronounce words like idiosyncracy (iddy-ahsin’-krassy) and horsdoeuvres (horse doovers). Pity my son who didn’t realize this when he went off to college.

It took a couple of minutes to think of this, but I like the word "discombobulate". For one thing it has your name in it, but, seriously, I would use it to describe how some people look when I tell them I like Bernie Sanders.
