"Elly Elephant was tired of staying home Friday nights. So she went to a bar. 'Hello', she said to the hippo sitting on the bar stool next to her. 'I am Elly Elephant.' 'My interests are 19th century romantic poetry, South American birds and the work of historian Robert Caro.' 'I came here tonight in the hopes of meeting someone with similar sensibilities,' 'Oh, silly me, ' said Elly. 'All I've done is go on oafishly about myself. I'm sure you have much more crudite things to say.' Nice rear. Elly Elephant beat the crudite hippo with his own bar stool." Goat: You know, most romance novels have happy endings. Rat: Yeah...I'm making up for that. Pig: Her rear is rather attractive.
Crudités are raw vegetables you serve with dip or sauce. It’s not an adjective. Crude, however, is.
