debgeisler...asks for the name used by New Englanders for "milk shake."
Mike and I, simultaneously: "Frappe. Or cabinet."
And we lost.
Because we didn't phrase it in the form of a question.
And we weren't on the actual show, of course.
(The show would have had a cow over the "cabinet" answer. As Mike said, "Rhode Island is, alas, part of New England, baby.")
