Lately, I have been asked a few times, "What is ouzo? Why ouzo?"
Well..This is the formal description for the word OUZO:
It is not produced in any other part of the world except Greece.Ouzo, it is a 100% Greek product and country's national drink.Ouzo is made from a precise combination of pressed grapes, herbs and berries. It begins as alcohol made from grape skins or other local produce. It is then mixed together with herbs and other ingredients, including star anise, coriander, cloves, angelica root, licorice, mint, wintergreen, fennel, hazelnut and even cinnamon and lime blossom. The mixture is boiled in a copper still, regulated by a taster

Then why OUZO as my nick? cos' I like his drink? Nope. I chanced upon this word in the dictionary when I was in sec 1. Tried searching for this word in a few other dictionaries but noticed that not every dictionary carries this word. Thought it's pretty unique and thus the choice of OUZO as my nick. =)
