Hahahhahahahahahha, yeah marge as in margarine. It’s not necessarily a standard term for it in my GenAm ass dialect but it is used in e.g. Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Irish, and most notably British English, and I liked the sound of it, so I just decided to start calling margarine marge. Both Marge as in Marjorie Bouvier Simpson and marge as in margarine ultimately trace to an Ancient Greek word meaning “pearl”, as do the names of pizza Margherita and the margarita cocktail.
Homer? What are you doing on Lenny?
