Word of the day...2

So you survived? I'm not entirely sure if I should be disappointed or elated with the news.  You see I was rather hoping for a roast of sorts.

You know, a 🔥flamingo🔥 chapter? Yes I spelled it like that on purpose.  I love those strange creatures almost as much as my nephew.

No my little mortal companions, I'm not that childish...I ought not subject you to that. But you catch my gist, do you not?

Anyway, the word today is of Latin origin: which is hilarious because we have a company in England called Bombardier (pronounced: bomb bar de yay)

Yet, also in England, we have a beer called Bombardier (pronounced: Bomb ba de yer)

One word pronounced two different ways?! Huzzah
