peer agreement (net): +3I think you can omit it Explanation: I would just leave it out baloney is the way it is pronounced in the U.S.; some people began to write it that way but it is not considered "the correct spelling" (also means n'importe quoi en argot) Bologna (pronounced buh-LON-yuh) is the Italian city; bologna (or bologna sausage) is the large sausage named for the city and pronounced buh-LON-ee, buh-LON-yuh, or buh-LON-uh. Baloney and boloney are Americanized variant spellings of the name of the sausage and widely used in the relatively long-standing slang noun and retort meaning “nonsense, foolishness.” |
