Vodka is an awful spirit. Tastes like paint stripper. Gin, at least, has a fragrant taste to it. (Whitley Neil Quince gin is an absolute delight, as is Sloe gin).

On a related note, I love 'in spite of ourselves' and 'frogstrap'.

My son was 3 or 4 and called Philthy Phil Philanthropist by NOFX the 'Bleugh' song.

'Expensive things'? Houses? Cars? Stocks? Businesses? Art? What are you thinking of here?

What the title says doesn't make sense! Divers?

Yeah, they are awful. My mate bought all the ingredients and a fancy martini glass, had half of one, and gave up.

Can't say I've noticed nor had a problem with it.

I've never seen a single TikTok. My dad did this one to me in 1988.

I'm British and have never said the first one you mentioned and don't think I can recall hearing it. Nearly everyone one will use the second version - adver-tize-ment, although it's most common to hear ad or ad-vert.

Edit: just asked my great granny who is 99, and she pronounced it adver-tize-ment, so not a generational thing.
