A while back, we had a thread on peppers.. (the vegetable) but i realized, we never really covered peppered-- "Her everyday speach is peppered with jagon from her job"
or, for that, matter salt.. (we have covered below the salt, and salt cellars) but not salted.--"His speach is frequently salted with vulgar words.."
and i was think about other ways we spice up our language..

Those who relish this topic are welcome to drink to it and get pickled. But don't get so soused you act like a dill and pull out the aerosol to mace your neighbor.

gee, i was afraid you'd handle the subject gingerly..
moving on to food in general.. this topic could become a hot potato!
but obviously, people here like some zest in their language.

In Spanish, they have a saying "Me vale un comino." This is said while flicking your eye tooth with your fingernail. ROUGH TRANSLATION "That's about as worthless as one cumin seed." It's one of those things that doesn't translate directly.
