Erin's Weird and Wonderful Word of the Day:
Bosco Pertwee [boss-ko-purt-wee]
a name used to trap pretentious people who pretend to know everything—the idea is to say something like “That’s a good movie, but I prefer the work of director Bosco Pertwee—don’t you?” and listen to them fall all over themselves to have an opinion. A listener to Nigel Rees’ BBC radio show Quote Unquote invented him as a service to humanity.
