The word "spatchcock" will always make me laugh hysterically. It should totally not be a real word XD

[SETTING: The back room of a restaurant. FAMOUS CHEF 1, FAMOUS CHEF 2, and FAMOUS CHEF 3 are seated around a table. Each has a half-full wine glass in front of them. On the table are three empty wine bottles, one lying on its side, and a platter containing a half a pineapple stuck all over with pickles and cheese cubes on toothpicks ( ... )

*dies laughing* Please excuse my tardy response to this brilliance. *standing ovation* I wouldn't be surprised in the least if this was actually how we ended up with the word. It's much better than the other theory I heard posited, which is that it's derived from "dispatch the cock." Although this week has me considering doing that a few times as well...

And now I'm wondering how we ended up with the word aspic to describe meat Jell-O.
