Dr Johnsons' word of the day 2

- Oh, hello again. Thank you for joining Sammy and me for another edition of:

Dr Johnsons' word of the day

Shouldn't it be 'Sammy & I', Poindexter? -

- Geez, Sam. You need to get a grasp of basic grammatical principles. You wouldn't say 'Thank you for joining I', would you? I just...I just expected more of you, thats all.

FFS, don't get your knickers in a twist, Professor. -

- Rude. Just plain rude.

- Anyway, today's exciting word is of a botanical nature:






ci·lan·tro
noun
This is what Americans call coriander, and they use it a fair bit, so you'll potentially come across it more than in the UK. They will have no idea what you're talking about if you ask for coriander in the supermarket, and the pronunciation is important too (having to repeat it ten times with a progressively localised accent is fucking humiliating. I don't want the stuff THAT much.) Its also worth a peek at the usage graphic (courtesy of Google): 

So, apparently, we all got terribly pretentious around 1970? Demanding cilantro, when nothing else will do.

Anyway, thanks again for stopping by. See you soon, word-lovers.
