    How is it that this is a word I never heard until about 2 years ago?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      And when it first appeared, about 2 years ago, everyone acted like they knew what it was all along.

            I don't understand why we have to use French words, when we can use proper traditional British words like cafe and restaurant. I get such a sense of deja-vu when these cliche's are used by people who are trying to be chic or appear to be connoisseurs. It's nothing but a grand facade.

            I was only joking

              What's your beef with French words, he asked sheepishly?

                  I did. Lunchable is as English as it gets.

                    Apparently, the word lunch is derived from the word 'lump', which leads us inexorably to a small dining establishment in Northern England.
