Butterfly: Let’s play a rhyming game. I’ll start. “Car.”
Me: “Far.”
BF: “Are.”
Me: “Star.”
BF: “Bar.”
Me: “Afar.”
BF: You already said that.
Me: No, I said “far.” Now I said “afar.”
BF: “Uh-far”?
Me: Yes. It’s an old-fashioned way of saying “far away,” as in “He came from afar.”
BF: Oh. Well then: “uh-uh-far.”
