There, that's my odd word! It always makes me smile! :D Albondigas - all-bone-dee-gaus = meatballs or meatball soup |

Pulsenameous :!: I love to use this if I am telling someone off :oops: I read it in Gone With The Wind years ago. I think it was Scarlett who called someone a "pulsenameous little twit" :wink: I looked it up but could not find it in the dictionary. Maybe I'm spelling it wrong. I have used it to rattle a few people :lol:
