tongue typo

What happens when you know perfectly well what you want to say but it comes out wrong.

It's a tongue typo when you trip over your words and accidentally call your friend Mike instead of by his actual name, Mark.

Bonquebuster

A Baroque bonkbuster, for instance a Handel opera. Handel can be surprisingly torrid.

“Semele” needs more plot, it’s really nothing but a Bonquebuster with music.

wiscotti

Game-time snacks and appetizers. (Originally, a delicious twice-baked confection, studded with cranberries after the Italian fashion. Hard as a slab of the Frozen Tundra, it was intended as an accompaniment to, and often dunked in, a mug of beer.)

Why don't you come over for the game? We'll have plenty of beer and the usual Wiscotti ...
