    For the longest time, I never connected the written phrase “hors d’oeuvre” with the spoken phrase always I heard as “orderve;” felt like a complete moron when the penny finally dropped. (Hey, don’t blame me. I grew up in a family a’ crackers what didn’t cotton t’ no fancy stuff. They thought I was mentally handicapped because I loved “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” and it didn’t even HAVE planes.)

    The spelling should be oeuvres, not ouevres. Also, did Phoebe mispronounce it “doovers” on purpose?

    That would be a Barum-chaa! moment, but the cymbal was broken.

    My dad used to say “horse’s doovers and kuNAPEs” with pretty much the same results.

    Phoebe’s hors d’oeuvres joke is hors de combat.

    Go Comics employs no proofreaders. More’s the pity.

    If you get near a joke, tell it.

    If that JOKE were a horse, you’d have to shoot it.

    This is a very clever use of a print pun that would be hard to carry off as a vocal gag.

    We’ve been deliberately mispronouncing it “horsed-overs” or “horsed ouvres,” depending on mood and what seems most likely to get the best eye-roll from present company.

    It should be spelled “d’oeuvres”. :)
