Huh?

How come I always thought it was Lozenger instead of Lozenge?   I got these soar throat lozenges the other day and read the box and was like, heh...whatdya know.  I always thought people were just being weird when they said lozenge instead of lozenger...like when people say hamburg instead of hamburger.

my old roommate used to say "hamburg"...
it must be a johnstown area thing
and I think it was referring to the meat and not the patties
so a pile of ground deer was "hamburg"
but formed into a patty was a "hamburger"

or that is what I assumed. I never questioned it.

I just thought, "hamburg? that is a strange word"

lozenger!

LOZENGER!!!!!!!!!!

LOZENGES!!

And if you say it right, you can make it sound like "SAUSAGES" HAHAHAHA

I avoid the whole hamburg conundrum and call it ground beef. And why is it called a HAMburger? I know it's historically b/c of the region in which it originated in Germany. But it should be a BEEFburger since it's made with ground beef not ground ham.
