vaycay; hiccough

[Jonathan Lighter]

Two TV commercials for different companies are using the word "vaycay" (or
whatever) for "vacation." Because Willie Mays is 80, it rhymes with "say
hey!"

For snappy communication, say "hiccough" instead of "utter repeatedly and
insistently."  According to travel maven Laura Michonski on CNN, some places
around the country will soon be "/ 'hIkOfiN/ 'peak season! peak season!'"
