Stand at the dinner table and
proclaim: "Today we give thanks for the word 'squash'—an abbreviation
of the Narragansett word 'asquutasquash'."
Then sit down to thunderous applause.
(Optional addition: "We also need to acknowledge the
mistakes of our ancestors—for their blunders still haunt us today. [pause] I'm
referring to the invention of creamed spinach.")
