Soup Turbine? Soup Tramline? Soup Tar Ring?

We got a text from Ruth Brown in Tucson, Arizona, and I just loved it.

She said,

As newlyweds, my husband David and I were so pleased to have friends over to eat with us.

We proudly got out our wedding china, and as David brought in the soup, he announced we made this and were even serving it in our soup latrine.

Poor David.

Latrine instead of tureen.

Oh, I bet that one never gets old.

You’re exactly right.

That was the rest of the text.

Needless to say, it’s been called the soup latrine ever since.

Oh, David, I hope you know this isn’t the spirit of fun, but that’s a genius remark.

We like it when you poke fun at your own language mishaps rather than the mishaps of other people.
