Prolagus commented on the word fufluns
Today, I went to a lecture on human population genetics and they were talking about the Etruscans, so the slideshow included a map of Etruria including Fufluna. I could barely contain myself.

Ha! Life imitates Wordie!

May 23, 2009
reesetee commented on the word fufluns
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."

milosrdenstvi commented on the word fufluns
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
Prolagus commented on the word fufluns
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
chained_bear commented on the word fufluns
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*

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