Save the fauxes...

Friday I wore a lovely new tunic-length cap-sleeve gray sweater vest with faux fur trim.  The fur looked a lot like my gray and black striped kitty I had growing up.  As a public service to the faint of heart, I assured them that the fur was faux... completely synthetic and not in any way akin to real kitties.

"You say faux 'fOH'? I thought it was 'fOHx' or 'fAWx.'"
"No, 'fOH.'  You know the French word for false... fake."
"You mean faux fur is fake fur?"
"Yep.  What did you think it was?"
"I thought is was a little fox-like animal."

We had a great laugh.  And so began the "Save the fauxes" campaign.
