I guess I'm stupid but I've never seen "udders" spelled like that. I've always spelled it utters.

Utters is a verb. "He utters a solemn oath."

Umami? I remember reading about this when they first discovered it.. in that article they just called it the "savory" taste. They said it was the secret for why so much msg in Chinese food made it taste good. wtf is Umami? Sweet, Sour, Salty, Savory... sounds a lot better than Sweet, sour, salty, umami...

I think savory is basically the English translation of umami. Research is ongoing about taste, and they are discussing adding a sixth taste and perhaps others. See this article, http://www.livescience.com/17684-sixth-basic-taste.html. Possible others include calcium, metal, piquancy (heat), menthol (coolness), kokumi (richness, as in slow-cooked meats), fat, and carbon dioxide (champagne bubbles or soda fizz).

That's weird; I only ever learned it as "umami".

I thought there were only 4 basic tastes: sweet, sour, salty and bitter. Meaty and savory are smells.

Heh, you're dating yourself, Susie222! Did you also learn that different "zones" of the tongue tasted each of the different flavors? Yeah, turned out that was a whole big load of hogwash, too.

I think ululation should also be accepted in lieu of ululate. I tried "ululation" first, then was stumped when it wasn't accepted.

It always amazes (and disgusts me at the same time) how some people have the unmitigated gall to request a different spelling of

a word just to accommodate their inability/unwillingness to spell

that word. It doesn't matter to them that doing so would only

confuse those of us who do make an effort to learn to spell as

well as to cheapen the quality of the quiz.
