pamplemouse!!!!!!!!

Do you know what pamplemousse means? It is the best word ever in the French language. I love it.

as far as I'm concerned, it's among the best words in -any- language.
and that includes ancient Greek, which has a verb that means "to thrust a radish up the fundament" (a common punishment for adultery).

That is one freaky verb. (And why a radish? That's so strange. I love radishes but I don't want one in the fundament.)

ραφανιδóω (rafanido) - 1st sg. pres. act. indic.

Perhaps the radish is just ergonomic for such purposes.

Which brings to mind Michael Bond (the man who wrote Paddington) and his M. Pamplemousse mystery series.
