it's clique

[MaryAnnSmotheredinchocolate]

not click-y ...

[TsarChasm]

You are so right.

'Click' indeed!

[expatinscotland]

Thank you!

One of my pet peeve.

[SoupDreggon]

No, it's cliquey not click-y. Clique and not click (or cleak).

[Boco]

I thought it was quiche? or quiche-y.

[MaryAnnSmotheredinchocolate]

hey Boco-hijacking my own thread - there's a nice art thread in Culture Vultures at the mo...under Egon Schiele landscapes, if you have a minute...

[Boco]

Is it an art quiche? Will go and look, on my way to felting so will look later. (I hate felting)

[MaryAnnSmotheredinchocolate]

uh, yes, it probably is a bit quiche-y

[BroccoliSpears]

Oh spooky! I was just about to start exactly the same thread.

Except I probably would have used more capital letters and maybe some bold.

Want to start a clique of people who know it's not click?

[StealthPolarBear]

I assumed it was a deliberate misspelling. Not sure why I thought that!

[StealthPolarBear]

Pedants' clique = "Pique"

[MaryAnnSmotheredinchocolate]

I'm meant to be working, which is why I'm spending my time being a pedant today...

[CatIsSleepy]

I thought that too SPB

[MaryAnnSmotheredinchocolate]

I love pique !!

[MehgaLegs]

Is it not clleeaaakk? Said through gritted teeth.

[SquonkForgotHerEasterName]

I always assumed that it was an MNism

I always spell it cleak on here, but of course I know it is clique.

oops

[StealthPolarBear]

yes squonk an MNism, like fanjo, norks and fark - that must have been my assumption.
I've started a pique! Right, who wants to join my pique?

[marina]

and we can repel non-pedants from the pique with a picket (or maybe picky) fence
LOL, now I know whassup MaryAnn. Displacement pedantry, eh?

[PuppyMonkey]

Clique? Nah, it's not that bad once you get into the swing of it...

[SquonkForgotHerEasterName]

I'll be in your pique

Or should that be peak?

[StealthPolarBear]

MaryAnn, you're in just because you said you loved it
marina, you're in for the picky fence idea, excellent.
Now, who else?

[WanderingTrolley]

pique v good

Ahem.

quiche was mine [smug]

[StealthPolarBear]

Excellent squonk, pique member no. 4
(PM#4)

[StealthPolarBear]

sorry WT, getting over excited as I have never been in a clique, click, pique or quiche!

[onebatmother]

I'm feeling a bit piquey. Must be that quiche.

[BecauseImWoeufIt]

I always thought it was an MNism as well!

I know perfectly well how to spell cleecque.

(Nobody noticed my fantastic witticism about the chicken thread being a chicke, btw)
