Nicholas Ralph's Word of the Day: "Supernaculum" - the drinking of the very last drop from the glass or bottle. Quite a common practice, n'est-ce pas? (That's Italian, you know). Do not confuse with SuperMaculum, which refers to whining after every match while manager of Fulham.
Lucky fashion accessory: Comedy yellow wig.
