Hi Michael,

That would be " hors d'oeuvres ". (Probably akin to some rare type of
French meteorite.)

I have always pronounced that as "horse ovaries", which tends to raise
a few eyebrows at the fancier parties, but being Texan, I figger that's
close enough.

Dean,
       Are "pions" anything like peons?
       And, while we're at it, I am writing an article and am including
commentary about eating little snacks before dinner and I cannot
come close enough to spelling it correctly to get the computer
spell checker to recognize the following word, spelled phonetically:
orderves - can anyone out there help me.
       Just a pion looking for some help - er, make that a peon.
       Ooops, I guess this isn't about meteorites, is it? Oh well, I guess
I am "special" and don't have to follow rules..... or do I? Gee, maybe
you have a point, Dean. But I don't think one individual (or brothers)
is/are the only one(s), now, is/are it/they ?
       Still, how DO you spell "orderves?"
       Best wishes, Michael
