Created by: jadenguy
Pronunciation: du kwayn tanse
Sentence: Though he led them well, casual nature led many to believe that he was perhaps disinterested in the System, but calling them Son and Daughter and passionately greeting them did much to dissuade the forming of such an opinion. How unpleased those closest to him would be if they understood that they were just duhquaintances.
Etymology: duh + acquaintance

I bet Vidalia was there. - purpleartichokes, 2007-07-11: 09:18:00
and I'm sure Pearl showed up for cocktails - Jabberwocky, 2007-07-11: 09:31:00
When Gar licked Pearl (whose mother was Spanish) on the neck, she started chive-talking and accidentally leeked the news that she was having Gar's bulby. - purpleartichokes, 2007-07-11: 10:11:00
Gar didn’t appreciate Pearl springing the news that she had a bun in the oven and thought he’d butter spread himself thin. Meanwhile Pearl was running rings around the guests trying to find him. Gar finally managed to escape in his souped up car. - Jabberwocky, 2007-07-11: 11:28:00
Shortly after speeding off, he got a stinking feeling when he saw flashing lights in his rear view mirror. It was the poleeks. Garlicked powder off his hand and pulled over. He hoped they wouldn't root out his indiscrouton. - purpleartichokes, 2007-07-11: 12:11:00
However, since he’d crossed the border, the regular poleeks were joined by the Royal Canadian Mounted poleeks riding up on their horseradishes. Meanwhile Pearl and Vidalia had caught up and were sizzling with anger. Sauteying, there was a huge mix up and even though Garlicked usually relished controversy and was not one for mincing words, he found himself rooted to the spot with fear. After the dice up there were many tears… - Jabberwocky, 2007-07-11: 12:48:00
But they were young - in their salad days, so surely this latest pickle wouldn't be too jarring. And Gar could bagel night for Pearl's forgiveness. - purpleartichokes, 2007-07-11: 13:05:00
unfortunately, he was pressed for time - Jabberwocky, 2007-07-11: 14:03:00
But Pearl was looking so saucy in that scampi dress, that he couldn't help but sautee over to her. It was a really hot reonion. - purpleartichokes, 2007-07-11: 14:17:00
and that's shallots folks. - petaj, 2007-07-12: 03:15:00
