In "Bed Bath & Beyond" (sic) yesterday, I noticed a large display of nice bamboo picture frames in different styles distinguished by the pattern of the grain of the "wood" (it's not nice to fool Mother Nature - if you think it's wood but it's grass - it's bamboo). Looking at the sign above the display, the styles were identified as straight, angled, and parkway. Parkway...? Say it isn't so!
I picked up the one that is not straight or angled, and the store-generated sticker says...
Dun duh-duh DUH!
PARKAY
Do I loose my descriptivist badge for having a "(par)Kay, Margarina!"-dancing meltdown over a parquet picture frame?
----
"Si! Mantequilla!"
"Parkaaaay..."
