Penbob? Wiggins? Cliggens?
When I first learned the word for the little glass ring that keeps the candle wax off the table, I was very pleased.
Recently I forgot the word. For three days it settled into my psyche, and today it surfaced.
Bobeche!
And bobeches!
Whatever the word, these were dirty, waxen, dusty and speckled with charcoal. So they received a bath in soapy water and were put on display. See the bobeches, how they sparkle!
Now if you could only learn to pronounce it correctly...

ReplyDeleteBobeche, rhymes with rubbish, which is what he said.
