Macaronic is an interesting word and one I don't know. I searched for more information and I think Macaronic annoys me, when a book written in English inserts French sentences into the story. I can usually work it out by my minimal French and context but it strikes me as being pretentious writing. While I loved cooked onions, they have the opposite effect on me and I have a bad nights sleep if I eat a lot.
You have to admit that the goonish and inarticulate cadre of fools in Washington is at the very least macaronic in their command of language. They have mastered doublespeak and gobbledegook in a way that few can aspire to. And have you noticed how so many of them look drowsy, or even fall asleep during a senate hearing or other important meeting? Must be the result of all the onions on those burgers from the Scottish Restaurant. It can only get worse!
Hi Sandra ... Moronic is the word that came to mind ... but Macaronic would suit in another guise ... personally I have to cook my own ... and I love cooked onions - definitely not raw ones. Cheer and fun for a Wednesday - Hilary

Fun word and I didn't know that about onions, Sandra xo
I didn't know that about onions - and have never come across that word before. Thank you.
