Olive Juice! (Not really since I don’t know you at all, but hopeful you get it)
Onion soupers! By the way, these stews are very good for 4 am in the morning!
hb, i just have to… there is no “ay” sound in “hecho.” it’s “eh-choh” - “eh” like in “eh-lephant”
the only way you’d make an “ay” sound in Spanish would be using “e” and “i” together - “ei.” as in 'aceite" - oil.
sorry to be picky, but this bit of spanish language mispronunciation has always killed me, and it’s not like you all can’t say it right. they’re just teaching you wrong!
I’m down with HOs, if we have to be anything.
It takes a village. Appreciate knowing how to pronounce things correctly in any language, so thank you.
Thank you for the pronunciation correction! I was taught high school Spanish by Social Studies teachers with thick Long Island accents who were re-purposed to teach Spanish. We suspected they were lousy teachers in general, and learned that they were also lousy Spanish teachers when they were unable to communicate with waiters on a class field trip to a Spanish restaurant. (perhaps their worst offense was letting The unadventurous class order only french fries, while I dined on paella with the teachers. Incidentally, they pronounced the L’s in paella!)
My vote is for Rapscallions
I’ll second “Rapscallions”!
On a slight tangent, on a thread from the New England board, @Morganna suggested “spring onion” as an alternative to “chow pup” when I apologized for not being able to shake CH nomenclature when referring to mini me. I thought that was fun.
Late to the party, here.
So, what happened w/this? Agree that a ‘handle’ is a good idea to spread the word.
Sidebar: am a designer and the branding thing drives me batshit crazy, drags every nuanced idea through the tiny, tiny sieve of the marketer’s brain. . . that being said, I love HOs, gets at the flavor of all y’all rebels. Will it help HUNGRY ONION grow longterm? Dunno.
Hunyons = warm n fuzzy. Also kind of strange. Points! (freak. Can’t remember if it’s hunions or hunyions or hunyons . . . . doesn’t matter to me, like.)
Rapscallions: Echoes of GWTW. (Scarlett! Surely you do not intend to entertain that . . . . that. . . )
My two cents
Chowverts? Seriously I don’t think we need a name
I said this way upthread: I’m mostly with you – the only “need” I see is a shorthand for “those
of us reading and posting on this forum”. Hunions (or Hounds) is
definitely a lot shorter and easier.
Hunions. Or bunions that my spell check kept defaulting to is a okay with me
Then they moved to Vallejo.
Hungkies.
