We don't put on airs and use French words like en brochette at my

Embrochette is not a word at all. Ambouchere refers to the mouth shape
and positioning of lips and tongue when playing brass/woodwind
musical instruments.

misinformed folks who don't know their face from a sharp stick.

Dood. Did you miss the part where I said the word was my way of remembering
the menu item "Enbrochette" from 20 years ago? What a bunch of dickheads.
