I was thinking about this word as soon as I woke up this morning! But the reason was because I was thinking about how I was once told by a Japanese flatmate that the words 'rubbish' and 'lavish' were almost exactly the same when you consider how they're used to changing an l into an r, a v to a b, and the 'u' in this case is really just a lazy 'a' sound.
As such, use of 'lavish' was denied. Bit rubbish really.
Don't know why I was thinking this though, but I was, honest!
