THE OFFICIAL BLOG D’ELISSON DICTIONARY,
Volume 22.

Still more stuff that should be in the dictionary but isn’t.

Previous installments of the Blog d’Elisson Dictionary may be found in the Archives.

f’oh! pas [fo-pah] (n) - A mistake, specifically one of the sort that makes you smack yourself in the forehead and exclaim “D’oh!” in the manner of Homer Simpson.

A poetic illustration, courtesy of Mark Hollis:

     Bill
     Was ill.

In his delirium
He talked about Miriam.

This was an error
As his wife was a terror

     Known
     As Joan.


That, Esteemed Readers, is a f’oh! pas.

[A tip o’ th’ Elisson fedora goes to Erica Sherman for this one.]
