  • Ha! Life imitates Wordie!

    I guess that was an Etruscan town (or area) where the worship of Dionysus was centered...? How todally alsome.

    May 23, 2009

  • Pro: Were you dying to post here about it? Don't you hate when you don't have a Wordie nearby with whom you can exchange knowing looks?

    C_b, I think you should bracket "Life imitates Wordie."

    May 27, 2009

  • How do you guys pronounce this? I'd been using short u for both since I first saw this, but it occurred to me the other day that the humour value is greatly increased with a long u in the first syllable. I don't know how to use IPA...

    June 4, 2009

  • Click the Forvo button for my pronunciation. I assumed a Latin pronunciation (Fufluns "was adopted by the Romans", according to the Wikipedians).

    June 4, 2009

  • I like the long-u sound better, but in my mind, I usually say it with a short u.

    On a side note, is Pro's Forvo prowess not the greatest thing since Fufluns? :)

    On another side note, I'm now wondering if we are angering the gods. *refuses to say more because she might accidentally break Pro's heart*

    June 5, 2009

  • Ede deos tuos. Eat Fufluns!

    June 5, 2009

  • We must move some pronunciations here.

    February 3, 2011

  • It would have to be dairy-, egg-, and cruelty-free (except for the part where we throw them at each other).

    February 3, 2011
