I hate buzzwords! It's not "carbon," it's "carbon dioxide"

And what about these stupid yellow ribbons everywhere? I hate that too!

    wine and cheese

    I need to know how one could use lachrymose appropriately when discussing wine.

    I prefer my wine to be phlegmatic, but not bilious.

    I confess I haven't read the original letter to which this refers (still catching up), but the response fascinated me. Certain types of cheese can be lachrymose, although that's a strange way to refer to a weepy mozzarella. Wine can MAKE people lachrymose. A lachrymose wine, not possible as far as I know.
