false  You know, that's one word I've never looked up.  For all I know it could be "kritch."  I mentioned trousers because I think it sounds cool.  I don't say it, but might if I ever thought to before speaking.  Then there's always the phrase "drop trou" which is a standard comedian thing.  Gonna go look up licorice.  Huh.  It's ish first then schwa s, second - like liquorous.  Who knew?
