The most important debate

So when they refer to cherry liqueur it's perfectly fine to say either way. That's before they've even tried some!
 
I pronounced it car-mull until I got older and heard everyone saying care-a-mel and I assimilated.

I still call crayons "crans." And growing up my dad called every soda "coke" no matter what brand. Sometimes I still refer to any soda as coke.
 
I've been watching the US Food Channel.. and .. well, liqueur. I would say 'lic cure' (on cooking shows) they often say 'lic ker' or 'lic kor'. Definitely heard the 'car mel' thing too. My accents tends to go 'cara mill' which is all kinds of wrong too probably.

when someone sayes liquor I hear lick her... IDK subconscious nonsense somehow relating to Freud but ===

I don't even hear the "a" in caramel what I hear is closer to camel then anything .. you know camel with an 'r' :)

what about tomAto tomaaaato these things are usually at a level of less then important though in some area's of social interaction they are the only thing about their social interactions that occur.. IDK
 
The word "liqueur" is just for the fancy stuff, innit? It's not a synonym for "liquor", because if you take something like Thunderbird or Night Train (useful as wines OR industrial solvents) you can't 'really call that "liqueur". It'd be like callilng a 1970 Gremlin a Rolls Royce. :lol:

That coke thing people used to do a lot. Even asking for a Pepsi coke.

That's a Southern thing. They call all soft drinks "coke" down there, even if it's Pepsi, 7-Up, etc.

Let's call the whole thing off.

Liqueur is specifically something flavored and usually pretty sweet, such as Frangelico or Grand Marnier.

For me, gravy is the brown stuff and sauce is the red stuff you put on pasta.
To me, what defines gravy is the starchy base, either cornstarch or flour. It can range from dark brown to almost white, depending on amounts of broth, meat drippings, and milk.

But I've heard that among Italian-American families, it's common to refer to tomato sauce as "gravy."

One way to remember is this: Liquor more or less means wine and & spirits. Depending on where you are, you might see a sign for a Liquor store or wine & spirits store. So, it encompasses a wide spectrum of of alcohol made for consumption. In these stores, you might find some Liqueur.
 
and then ---- and then came the pumpkin spice flavors ... :)
