Pronunciation: dish caw styun

Sentence: After dinner, act with caution. At that time of night, the dishes are a caustic discussion point to be had. You might swoon at the sight. Nobody wants to even contemplate doing them - it is a boring thing to do - but it must be done eventually, so they fork out their knives and erupt in a full frontal dishcaustion.

Etymology: dish + caustic + discussion
