An old way to say challenge was defy, as in, "I defy you to lick your own nipples." In French, they still have the noun le défi (the challenge) and the verb défier (to challenge). Something like the America's Cup or the Stanley Cup, where the prize can change hands, is called un challenge. Pronounce it the French way and be amused. Sha-law(n)zh.

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
