"Quetzacoatl"

Anyone bold and confident enough to pronounce this ?

In reply to Simon Lee: It's misspelt (your bad, Mick). Should be Quetzalcoatl. Quetzalcoatl features as a character in Malcolm Lowry's very fine novel of alcoholism, Under the Volcano.

Given that it replaced 'Hey Gringo' I would suspect the name relates to the Aztec meaning.

I always aspired to use 'quetzal' in scrabble.

In reply to Simon Lee: I think the novel was actually set in the Mexican town said to be the birthplace of Quetzalcoatl.

I'm usually happy to settle for a bit of zex.

In reply to Ste Brom:

Only two 100+ plays and 'qindars' on a TW was easily the more satisfying.....
