So I was talking with my super-intellectual know-it-all friend the other day (the same friend who until recently pronounced "awry" like "aw-ree" and uses "faux pas" as if it means "misnomer"), and we were discussing Apocalypse Now. I said, "I've only seen the original, not the redux," pronouncing it "re-ducks", and then he corrected me by saying, "re-do" as if it were spelled "redeux." It's not a fucking French word! Ugh! I didn't bother to correct him cuz it turns into a big ol' christing thing whenever I do.
You've gone too far this time And you're pronouncing is not like mine I tell you somebody's fooling around With the semantics of this stupid line Why don't you jump off a bridge when you find it Any day Just make your stand-whoa-oh High time is a great time for deciding I'll give you a helping hand-whoa-oh
Why Why Why Why don't you use it ? Try not to bruise it ? Buy a dictionary and don't lose it
The redux is a stupid term And your friend is a dork The redux is a word that should be used Only if you're a stork And hearing him say it over and over Isn't that bizzare? Maybe the terms of your friendship should be Answered with a question mark?
