Monty Python as wine cognoscenti

Yep; "DUMBO" is an allegedly even hipper place than Williamsburg, up there. And the world center for cooking utensil posters?

For those for who-um it will be news, DUMBO stands for "Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass."

I love the term plonk. Ran across it several years ago in the NYTimes and was immediately enamored.

Copper ink? If your poster is missing, well - coming soon to a metal recycler near you...

I will attest to the 'hip factor' of DUMBO! During my recent trip to NYC , I visited for the Steampunk Fashion Show ! Very Hip ,indeed !

This poster would go along way in furthering my cooking education.....

Is it "beefcake" or "cheesecake?" These are two terms I use interchangeably, but I probably shouldn't since I think there's supposed to be a specific male and female connotation to each of them.

It's like those damn spanish nouns.

I've always loved the term "plonk," too. I first encountered it in John Mortimer's stories (and subsequent TV adaptations) about Rumpole of the Bailey, a character whom I later heard described as "the plonk-swigging nemesis of injustice."

The gender of implements. Interesting.

Okay, the apostrophe catastrophe knows no bounds and drives me to drink. I just went to the new Fish and Co. on 12th, and on the menu is the section "Specialty's." Specialty what?

Messup, you are a person after my own grammatical heart. Catastrophic indeed.

@dana, as a drinker of much plonk in England (which at the time were dang good $4 Hungarian whites), I always wondered where the term came from, and the rhyming slang of vin blanc-plinkety plonk sounds as plausible as anything. Thanks for a Google I never remember to do.

I cannot tell you how good those cookie dough truffles are. They should be illegal.
