Hope you all feel brain-rested by the recent absence of weekend teasers, but now I'm back here's a new one for you.
Remember, things are not always as they seem: what's this?
Happy guessing!

I couldn't find a "good lord" as requested
This is the best I could come up with:
**Godhead**
1/4 white rum
1/4 vodka
1/4 Raspberry Liqueur
dash lime juice
dash 151 Proof Rum
Pour Rum, Vodka, Rasberry Liqueur and Lime Juice a cocktail shaker glass. Chill with ice and strain into your shot glass. Float 151 Rum on top of shot. Throw down or ignite and throw down. (Igniting the 151 Rum will lower the alcoholic content.)
This one sounds a bit too powerful to me!

Mmm .... checks dictionary .....
bulwark (n.) an embankment built around a space for defensive purposes
bulwark (n.) a fence-like structure around a deck
bulwark (n.) a protective structure of stone or concrete
This was the best I could do:-
**A Bannister**
1 1/2 oz. gin
1 oz. Applejack
1 tbs. Pernod
1/2 tbs. grenadine
In a mixing glass half-filled with crushed ice, combine all of the ingredients. Stir well. Strain into a cocktail glass

Good definitions of a bulwark (Bulwark is also the name of a ship in the RN).
I would never have thought of mixing gin with Pernod. Comes to that I would never have thought of mixing anything with Pernod...-

Oh goodness - it's that word again... bulwark that is.
I always have to think how to pronounce it, and I have an inbuilt tendency to make the "w" silent. Then I get laughed at.
It's what happens when you grow up in a place where the silent "w" is essential!!-

Well that's novel: I've seen people spell bulwark with a second 'l' (bulwalk) based on how the word sounds, but have never heard bulwark pronounced without the 'w'. How interesting.

- Saturday, 21. Jul, 2007 @ 07:29:13
It also crops up in my life as a word to be spoken aloud at least once every 6 weeks or so and when I'm reading it to myself my own pronunciation does take precedence.
I came across it written down before I heard it pronounced, which happens to me a lot - being one of these very avid readers who reads almost anything.
It's the peril of having spent one's early years in Warwick and arguing belligerently for a sensible spelling!
Episcopal is another of those words I had a unique pronounciation for, (E-pi-scop-al) and confused my entire family for a few days until I took them past the sign with "St Mary's Episcopal Church" on it and light dawned...

English is an odd language isn't it? Pronunciation can be extremely hit and miss when you have only the written word to guide you. I often wonder how foreigners manage.
I always had trouble with 'awkward' as a child. For some bizarre reason I refused to see the first ‘w’ so for me the word was ‘akward’, which drove my primary school teacher to distraction.
