Okay, now I need a dictionary to understand the definition of word #2.
fanfaronade, The beverage served at Obama events.
Farrago--the distance from here to there, as in "Do you know how farrago to get to the county line?"
Deductive reasoning would say that, since a cannonade is an assault with cannon, a "fanfaronade" would be an assault with trumpets.
Farrago is a movie by the Coen Brothers. "Ya think?"
Yayyy. My brain woke up!

"Farrago". The abreviated word used by rednecks to immitate the opening sequence to Star Wars. "In a galaxy a long long farrago...."
"Fanfaronade". That lemonade that you spill on yurself when you are clapping during the fanfare for an Obama rally...
