Is it ‘fuh-jee-tas’ or ‘fudge-eye-tas’? It’s gotta be the former. The latter is way too close to… well… you know. How else could you possibly say ‘fajitas’ without sounding like a pervert?

So Andy and Kyle sit down with the Legendary Creature Linguistics Team to figure out how to say a bunch of magic cards.
