Speechless, huh? Does this mean I get the last word at last?

Of course. It's 'zythum'

*Massive grin*

That's not even in my dictionary!

There's "zymurgy" followed by "zzz/zzzz" ("A convention used to indicate, as in a cartoon, that a person is asleep")

LOL Have a glass of zythum. It sounds like our kind of stuff.

"A kind of beer made by the ancient Egyptians, highly commended by Diodorus Siculus, a writer of the 1st Century BC"

If it's good enough for Dio.....

*Throws the dictionary across the room in disgust!* Well, it's not mine anyway - it's John's. So much for the Reader's Digest "Universal Dictionary"! Bah! Humbug!

I have Chambers "The official reference dictionary for Scrabble"
*Pours Gwennie an extra large zythum*
Ice and Lemon?

Yes please! Skip the lemon as I'm sour enough without it!

Actually, not sure old Dio would approve of ice and lemon in beer anyway.
*Sips zythum*
An acquired taste I think.

*Pulls a face*

Eeuch!!

*Spits her drink out with disgust and sprays Greebo and Coely with beer*

It's enough to put one off booze for ever!
