No. It's in the sort of painful, airy, annoying way that Blunt says it.

Blunt ought to have been a poll option.

Facetious

A ridiculously beautiful word where all of the vowels are in order

I would like to offer the prize of a bottle of red wine to the first person who manages to fit in any of the three words "facetious", "beautiful" or "ridiculous" into their submissions from the floor at tonight's town hall consultation.

There may be a further discretionary prize awarded for unusual or imaginative uses of, or combination usage of, these words.

You can ask Porty how beautiful this wine is
