Dazed and confused? Not me. I’m just Lost in the Cheese Aisle.

THE CHEESE AISLE DICTIONARY, Vol. 15

More stuff that should be in the dictionary but isn’t.

Long-time readers of my previous site may recall the Blog d’Elisson Dictionary, installments of which may be found in that site’s Archives.  For other entries in the Cheese Aisle Dictionary, simply click on the sidebar link for Cheese-Dic.

And now, the Word of the Day:

cocknoscenti [kok-no-sen-ti] (n, plural) - Collectively, egotists or narcissists; people who think their shit doesn’t stink.  (From Yiddish and Italian cock no scenti: shit no smell.)

“Oh, that Margaret is so full of herself... she must be one of the cocknoscenti.”

In French: Mardodorante.

Elle est si pleine d'elle-même. C'est une mardodorante!

Mard: vulgar for merde: shit / odorante:leaving a smell.

Ahhh, Claude... I knew I could rely on you! Merci beaucoup! (Or as Mister Debonair would say, "Merci b'cock!")
