I'm with you on "MEXICANS" I don't think I heard anything after the initial reading of the word because I was laughing too hard anticipating what would be the definition/usage in a sentence!
It's really terrible, but terribly funny!
"It's like children's theatre for 40-year old gay people!" - XANADU THE MUSICAL
my friend and i absolutely love the dengue one, we stil laugh every time we hear it. the other one they used in the Tony performance is funny too. i can't remember the word but it deals with something in the Jewish religion and the mother tells her son to put the (something) down, we're episcipalian
sometimes i think my head is so big because it is so full of dreams- the elephant man
Phylactery. It's either of two small leather boxes that are worn by Jewish men during morning weekday prayers. "Billy, put down that phylactery, we're Episcopalian!"
that sentence was cute enough to make me want to see the show:)
"It breaks my heart to see a grown man dressed as a Taco." -David Sedaris
I love Les Miserables.
My new pic is me(on the left)at my last dance recital:(
I gotta go with Phylactery. Dengue is a close second though. I'm in Godspell right now and every time our Jesus says phylactery I laugh because i think of this show, even thought I'm supposed to be scared.
"Did you know that if you take the first two vowels in Olive and rearrange them it spells I-Love?"-Spelling Bee
"It's night like this that hotel bars were specifically made." Light In The Piazza
Oh, gosh, cow was hilarious! I also like how Leaf Coneybear always got a word that meant some kind of lizard, and how he comments on it.
There was one about some sort of vicious fish....the sentence was something like, "Look out, I think that terribly ugly and ferocious fish behind you might be a ________!"
Gosh, somebody take me back to Spelling Bee! Oh, and what are the words that Olive takes silent letters from to form another word? The whole joke has slipped my mind, but I loved it!
"If you take the W from answer and the H from ghost and the extra A from aardvark and the T from listen, you can keep saying 'what?', but nobody will hear you because it'll be silent!"
Then there's...
"Spell the word…’capybara’,”
"Is that a word!?”
“Yes.”
“What’s it mean?”
“Uhh…A large semiaquatic rodent of tropical South America, having short limbs and a vestigial tail and often attaining lengths of more than 4 feet.”
“Can you use it in a sentence?”
“Mary, I think that large semiaquatic rodent of tropical South America, having short limbs and a vestigial tail and often attaining lengths of more than 4 feet that’s swimming next to our boat might be a capybara.”
"Well, obviously Company is about the Kennedy family. Bobby is played by Raul, and JFK is played by Harvey Fierstein."
