Atoncé rhymes with Beyoncé
April 21, 2013
KATHERINE: So, wait, what is 30-down again?
M: “Immediately,” six letters. But none of these really make sense there–
KATHERINE: Atoncé? AH-TONZ? AH-TON-SAY? I guarantee I’m not pronouncing this word right.
M: Yeah, I don’t know.
KATHERINE: Is that a music word? Atoncé? What’s 29-across?
M: Author of a famous comedy, five letters.
KATHERINE: Dante.
M: Oh, right.
KATHERINE: Well, atoncé would fit then.
M: Yes, it would.
KATHERINE: I still don’t know–
KATHERINE: AT ONCE. OH MAN.
[Three-minute laugh break.]
M: Atoncé!
KATHERINE: Fra-gee-lay!
M: That must be Italian!
