Examples

“Byrne was the best thing about *Man in the Iron Mask*, as far as plot and acting. I do confess a faunch for John Malkovitch, and DiCaprio should be allowed to develop his considerable latent acting abilities.”

“Me, I'd caution against a Worldcon as one's first convention for somebody who has such a faunch -- not to the point of avoiding it, if one were handy -- as while there's a lot that's fun at a Worldcon, it tends to be on the largish side, it's fairly easy to get lostish, and in most times and places (at least in the US) there's likely to be a good convention closer in time and space than the next Worldcon.”
