Think of the following comment as the "word design" equivalent of choosing the exact shade of gray paint for the wall to contrast perfectly with that bumble-bee yellow lamp you love:
The preferred spelling of that wonderful Yiddish word is "mensch". Although "mench" is accepted as a secondary spelling, pronouncing this Yiddish word as though it rhymed with "bench" doesn't quite capture the correct pronunciation. "Mensch" matches better.
Really? The word 'cocktail' just doesn't split up very well...
lol, I didn't even get that it was supposed to be "cocktail" until I saw the comments. Awkward.
The "cock" "tail" coasters are hideous. Of course that's just my opinion and I'm sure someone out there thinks they are great... just not me.
Completely agree with the "Cock"/"Tail" comments. Although I've got a few friends who would find them endlessly amusing...
