Nothing Incidental About This Balogna!

I have several secret blogs. They aren't secret because I'm hiding something -- they're secret because nobody knows about them. So maybe instead of secret blogs they are more like stealth blogs. Strictly an under-the-radar kind of affair.

It's good that they're redundantly stealthily secret because I never post here, and I really should do something about that. I created them simply because I ran across the phraseology somewhere along the lines and thought to myself, "Self, that's a damn fine title for a blog!" So I hop onto Blogger and grab the name before somebody else thinks of doing the same.

Which is why I'm here.

I'm going to start sharing the love and post a bit on my several poor stepchildren, starting here, starting now (as the song goes).



Incidentally, how on earth did Americans score a pronunciation of ba-LONE-ee from the word bologna? That's just crazy talk.

Question Number One

My first dilemma with The Incidental Bologna is that word.

Bologna

First of all, I'm American. And being American, I speak American (that is to differentiate my language from speaking English, which American most definitely is not. Being a child of the fifty states, I also happen to know several commercial jingles about just this sort of thing that has a first name and a second name.

Now, being a singer, I'm hip to Italian. I am not a fluid conversationalist of the language per se, but I am a fluid speaker of whatever Italian is set before me. I might not know what it means, but I know exactly how to say it.

What do you think?

American
Bah-LO-neee?

Italian
Bo-LO-nyah?

Just Plain Wrong
Ba-LOG-nah?

Ha!

You knew I had to do it, didn't you?
