i learned a new word on the radio today

Pozzy-wallah - (1914) A man who is inordinately fond of jam.

Example: “Daniel was always a different sort of child, but who could have imagined he’d grow up into such a pozzy-wallah?!”

there are still a few jars of my jam on the shelf at the Greenwood Gourmet Grocery, at least there were the other day when i bought some. i don’t think there is any more jam anywhere closer than 3 months in the future.

    Thank you, thank you - I heard this word myself on the radio (in the car), and couldn’t remember it later. So I’m so pleased to find someone else who found it amusing and in fact, actually remembered or made a note of the word. I’ll try to work it into conversation soon!
