@Sortahwitte- That's technically not right, but you still get the bonus points for reminding me of an acronym that goes back to my childhood!

@John T- We have a winner!

@Snark- It's easy for anyone to say. The actual pronunciation - and I'm not quite making this up - is "mix-yez-PITTLE-ick."

Stilton Jarlsberg said...

@Bruce Bleu- Oops, we posted at the same time. Different spellings, but basically the same pronunciation!

Snark said...

Thanks. I just sprained my tongue.

@Sortahwitte- In grade school LSMFT meant Loose Strap Means Floppy Tit. My wife wonders how I turned out this way.....

Sorry, I got nothing.

My bad. I missed the Superman connection and was thinking about the little guy from Al Capp's "Lil Abner" who was followed around by a black rain cloud.

Fantastic. My comic book buddies and I would argue forever about the proper pronunciation back in the
wonderful early 60s. "mix-yez-PITTLE-ick" was EXACTLY the way I said it from the jump. WINNING!

That’s the name for Kim and Kanye’s next baby
