How to name your poison when you can't quite spell it

[mrph]

I've just updated my interests list to add beckerovka and slivovica. This is all /mel/'s fault - for introducing me to the dreadful stuff, a long time ago, and then for providing a spelling so I could finally add them as interests. Scarily, nobody else on LJ has done so...

Thinking about it, I'm sure you have. Jerrys, you say? Hmm. Now, when am I next in London during shopping hours... :)
