My character PharphenLogaloo an alien who loves to eat phlegm, a delicacy on his homeworld.

I say:

Hmm... Interesting. How do you pronounce the name? And is that phlegm, like we know phlegm, or is it something different?

Author Response:

It's Phar-fen-lug-a-loo and what do you mean? Of course it's on his planet? Do you think I'd have him eat phlegm??!!!


Silliness aside, that's the best example I could come up with right now. Sometimes it gets a heck of a lot uglier than that on some of the writing forums I've been on.
