CK stopped by yesterday. She was telling us about how things were going, and started rubbing her eyes.
When she got done, she explained her eyes were still tender from cleaning house. Needless to say, Dudette and I were curious. How does house cleaning cause your eyes to be tender?
She said, "when I was cleaning the shower, a 'sud' got in my eye."
US: a "SUD"?
CK: Yeah. A sud. Not a bunch of suds, just a sud.
ME: Suds is plural, and sud is singular, huh?
CK: Uh, huh.
It went downhill from there. But it was very entertaining and amusing. And I have yet to find sud in any dictionary we own.
Be the first on the block to pencil it into yours at home.
SUD happens.
I have been using that word for a long time, in conjunction with a somewhat more common one, every time I pass the "Suds Your Duds" laundromat.
