> On the topic of "faux", I was always amused at the idiocy of a certain t.v. commercial many years back. In the commercial, they advertised "Genuine Faux Pearls". Of course, I had just started taking French, which allowed me to easily understand that these con-men were trying to sell "genuine fake pearls". Most impressive. I almost feel sorry for the saps that thought they were buying some special variety of pearls that come from a Faux oyster from the Faux region, or some other such nonsense. Well, at least it wasn't *immitation* fake pearls, I guess.

What do you mean, at least they weren't imitation fakes? Wouldn't "imitation fake pearls" be real pearls?
