New words! I learned some new Chamorro words today.

At lunch someone brought in a big pot of chili and there were some other local dishes, put-put, a spicy salmon salad, and a new form of fine dene I hadn't seen yet. Put-put is a kind of spicy hot dog or sausage, big round and juicy.

In the course of a riotous lunchtime conversation I learned that you never say put-put to a woman who is not your wife. It refers to her, uh, er, delta of Venus, her vaginal area. At the same time you never use the word chili in polite conversation. It refers to the reproductive organ that only a man has.

Needless to say, lunch today was very noisy with plenty of laughter.

Oh, and the results of the pie-in-the-face voting changed dramatically while I was out of the office yesterday. When I left the office on Tuesday I had garnered only 9 votes. This morning the count has me up to 414 votes and in the top three to receive pies in our faces. I guess I better bring a change of clothing to the party. I can feel the love. The big conversation about this event is what will be in the pies? People are assuming the worst, sardines, onions, tuna fish, etc. Should be an interesting afternoon.
