I see I wasn't the only person whose first thought at seeing "imbroglio" was "seraglio."

I wonder how many similar words you could pile up. There's "intaglio," and after that, my brain runs dry.

Those are all that the internet yields.

I spent some time wracking my brain this morning to remember seraglio. I knew there was a similar word that sometimes referred to harems, but couldn't bring it up for the longest time.

I think I need more sleep. :D

They're all Italian in origin, I think. In German, Mozart's Abduction From the Seraglio is Die Entführung aus dem Serail.

Of course, you can make a rhyme with the name of cartoonist Phil Foglio . . .
