[farraige]

At breakfast. Farraige is blowing at her coffee, A. is buttering his toast.

F.: My rose plant out the front is dying.
A.: Have you sprayed it? Maybe it has bugs on it.
F.: There are no bugs, I looked.
A.: Maybe it needs feeding.
F.: I've fed it.
A.: What did you feed it with?
F.: Er... rose food.
A.: Maybe it needs bostrogen.
F., absentmindedly: What's bostrogen?
A.: I said phostrogen! It's a universal plant feed. Bostrogen, on the other hand... is... a feed for bostrophytes.
