Portobella mushrooms
According to bartelby, I believe they are either
portabella or
portobello, but not
portobella -- a nit picked solely for purposes of the next post.

portabella mushrooms

You know I don't have to hang around here to be insulted

Stick around, mia bella Helen, and we shall make a little mush room for ourselves ... [closing the porta ... ]

Dear Faldage, and AnnaStrophic: My blurry vision has screwed me again. I can't even blame it on being intoxicated with Rum Shots. I despise the stuff. I remember a lab tech that used to hang her pectoral perfections on my shoulders when I was teaching her to read slides. I put a fifth of rum into her ,and a quart of Coke into me and she was still saying No.All those Cuba Libres to no avail. So I am the King of Non Sequiturs. I am filing an Abdication Application.

so following that,
it would be unobello (or is it unbello?)
or unabella(what about annabella?-- i thought that name meant beautiful lady)

or did you intend to call me a a man (who is a)beautiful (woman)? in which case you are wrong! i might not be a beauty, but i am all female!
i thought this was gentle words, not a thread about Chicks with D***s!

Well faldage, I admittedly had conflicting priorities here. But why let grammatical precision take precedence over thanking mav for a compliment, and making a compliment to a dear lady?

Or why interpret something as an insult when it can just as easily be interpreted as a compliment?

The mushroom peddlers use all four combinations.
