Not getting the laughing cow joke/allusion. Someone expand please for the hard of understanding among us. I'm not touching this one. I know my place. |

Yes, I know how to pronounce it. But why did Weyland suddenly post it? Has somebody deleted a post which said 'please post things in foreign languages which rhyme with 'see''?

It is pronounced, Vash Kee Ree, Rhymes with ........see. OK, I give up. It's "the laughing cow". Rhymes with Everso's "(This is getting silly now)". Sacre bleu, Donner und Blitzen, God verdamme. |

My friend and I spent a day being extras for Ballykissangel - that's me sitting in the audience in the talent festival scene, with long brunette hair, acting my little socks off, I am well respected for my interpretation of 'ennui'. I'm on screen for nearly a whole second, both times, look out for me. That would be the episode where at some point during the festival, one of the characters was wallopped in the back of the head with a fresh pair of octopodes and a faint smell of gin  |

Literally, 'The cow which laughs'
Sacred blus, thunder and lightning (not necessarily in that order) and God Damn.
Vorschvinden sie lummel as the ladies say.

So, to summarise: it is the cow which laughs, or the laughing cow, pronounced La vash kee ree.
Next!

I was slightly mystified I must admit. Let's stick to English eh? Madre de Dios!  |

Nothing to do with Gotterdammerung or the ride of the Vache qui rit.
