Sorry this took so long, but I’m still trying to discover the double or triple pun in TEd’s post. Whatsamadda with azure? Like it not?
Azure may be a good word for the acronym game if you want to make the next one difficult - there are so few z words. My sensitivity to this word arizes from long-ago poetry readings and HS poetry contests. There were too many azures, and many that were heard sounded like, "az-zzoor", as if it were a "foreign" word and its pronunciation was a mystery, or like an exotic bird call. I love the color itself, and I like the way it’s defined better than it. I internally cringe in a similar way when I hear someone summon me by my full name especially with “Mister” as its prefix. But that’s just me.
