Did anybody else love that line on the plane on Tuesday... can't remember it
exactly, but the guy who said he didn't want to be the bologna in that
sandwich! I thought it was cute. BTW, how on earth did the word bologna come
to be pronounced "baloney"? Hmmm.

I thought it was great. Besides, who would have ever expected the writers to
pu Sharlene and Felicia together on the plan. It certainly added some color to
Wednesday's episode.

Don't y'all know that down here in the South, we say "baloney?"

This line was also my pick of the week. I'm from Ontario Canada and
we say baloney as well. I think the actual line was from the man on
the plane to Felicia and Sharlene "I have no interest in being the
baloney in this sandwich". Maybe baloney is a better choice in this
case considering all the tension between Felicia and Sharlene.

We say baloney here in upstate NY too.

Native NYC-ers also say "baloney", but spell it "bologna"--I don't think
even native Italians pronounce "bologna", buh-LON-ya, right?

Peace,

You're absolutely correct on how native NY'ers pronounce this lovely
lunchmeat. In Italy, there is no such thing as bologna or baloney as a
lunch meat, only a city by that name, one of whose specialities is
mortadella, which is what eventually transmogrified into baloney/bologna
with a trip across the atlantic. The city Bologna is, of course,
pronounced buh-LON-ya! BTW -- mortadella tastes a whole hell of a lot
better than baloney (or however it's spelled).
