...well, if there's a word that sounds more like someone throwing up then I don't know what it is.
Still, I suppose they can be a bit sickeningly over-sweet.
Sunday Rest: eulogy. In mediaeval times his word meant high praise. (Eus is Greek for good, and logos means word.) It comes from the Latin eulogium from the Greek eulogia, which means praise, but along the way the word has probably got a bit mixed up with the similar Latin word elogium, which means inscription on a tomb.
