"Did you remember to stock the canned goods and powdered milk under the bed in case of Evian Flu?"

Is that the flu you get from drinking French bottled water?

I spelled it that way intentionally. You've noticed, I'm sure, the tendency of the elite media talking heads to pronounce place names etc. in a way unfamiliar to Americans, to appear more in-the-know and worldly. "Neeejair" for Niger, and "Cutter" for Qatar are two examples that leap quickly to mind. Well, I've noticed an alarming tendency for the mediots to call the bird flu "Avian" flu, which is correct, but to give it a long A which makes it come out with the same sound as "Evian". So I decided to just go ahead and spell it that way.
