Guy Fawkes
Driving into Winneconne, Wisconsin, the other week, I noticed a large number of bonfires. I commented to my brother, could today be Guy Fawkes Day?
It turns out I was wrong about the day, but I was right about the pronunciation (Matt claimed it was prounounced "Gee Fawkes"):
Guy Fawkes Day Listen: [ g
fôks ]
n.
November 5, observed in England to commemorate the foiling of the attempt led by Guy Fawkes in 1605 to blow up the king and members of Parliament in retaliation for increasing repression of Roman Catholics in England.
