quiche

[MrsMuddyPuddles]

A quiche is a thing one eats. A Clique is a group of people. Unless you are a cannibal, do not confuse the two!

Ahem.

Not usually good enough with the grammar and spelling to be a pedant but this one makes my teeth itch! Sorry to intrude on this corner.

I take it you also know the definition of irony?

I think you'll need to keep itching (might Listerine help?) as this is a case of the development of specialised jargon.

Welcome to the corner. But like Thighs says, it's being used ironically.

Are your teeth really itching?

Joke?

x post with Edith. (Slow typing)

You do realise it's a deliberate joke and that nobody is really confused by the two words?

The Nobdies need to sort out their spelling too.

I am however mildly irked when posters do not see the difference between a clique and a claque.

And as for the Pendants...

I don't know whether to or at this thread! So I'll just have a instead.

OP - have as well with your quiche.

HaHaHaHaHaHa

There's no need to apologise for the intrusion though.

I missed the fact that it's an in joke
Thumbwitch thanks for the !

You'll be sending in the grammer police next, OP

Can none of you spell??? It's click, not clique.

:o

Obviously, possibly you are well aware of this, but Americans do pronounce "clique" "click" . They don't say "quish" though

My mum always says "click", or more commonly "clicky" (usually describing a group of friends she has perceived as snubbing her).

LOL - thanks all, for a funny read

Urgh I HATE click instead of clique.

click vs clique

a repeated irritant, as that was mentioned on 17-Sep-2010 on 'to all intensive purposes' "Battering eyelids, and click vs clique."
