Cecily. This is no time for wearing the shallow mask of manners. When I see a spade I call it a spade.
Gwendolen. [Satirically.] I am glad to say that I have never seen a spade. It is obvious that our social spheres have been widely different.

[Judy Madnick]

I'm always happy to make someone feel better if at all possible. <G>

Let's just say I heard this word weekly as a child on Sundays.   

I expect synagogues don't have narthexes and it may be more commonly known in the US.

NARTHEX: Where people go out, opposite the SAUTHENT where they come in. 

Efrem/NAD, though with four public DQs so far it probably won't matter

Yes, I think I've heard it used more often when visiting churches in the States, though I have heard it here, maybe only in our cathedral.
