I was sitting around a few nights ago googling inspiration for my Halloween costume, when this conversation occurred. (or something to the effect of this)

I thought I’d share since it’s a great representation of what I mean by L-Bonics.

Me:  Ok. Judging from these pictures I need black pants, a red jacket with tails, a white shirt, white gloves, and a top hat. The top hat is going to be the Coup de… (silence as I struggle to figure out what I’m trying to say)

Micah: Yes??

At this point, I have no idea what word to insert after Coup de. I know that I’m trying to express the idea that the top hat will be the finishing touch to my costume. It’ll deliver that final blow of awesomeness and pull it all together. I reverted to a tactic that usually works pretty well.

Me: Coup de (insert incomprehensible muttering, said very quickly and quietly)

Micah: What was that? (knowing full well I have no idea what I’m talking about)

Me: I said Coup de WHOA!

Sometimes you just have to embrace it. And actually, I think it works better than the Coup de Gras I was searching for. And are you wondering about my Halloween costume? I’ll be posting the pictures soon!
