One of Julie's habits... one of her many habits, that is... is to bluff her way through words and terms she is not entirely au fait with. Remember the
comment about consommé? Well, this one is similar. Unfortunately, bluffing your way through words only works if you a) are talking to someone who doesn't have as decent a grasp of the language as you do or b) you somehow manage to hit on the correct meaning or pronunciation.
Unluckily for Julie on this occasion, she was talking to me and the words weren't quite right...
In case you weren't sure, she was trying to imply we need to 'feng shui'* the house. Mind you if she DID mean what she said, then all she needed to do was to look inside my work boots... ew...
*By the way, for those not in the know, 'feng shui' is pronounced 'fung shway'
