In Hawaii, about 1970, the word pupu got popular for appetizer or
hors d'oeuvres. Pupu means "shell" and as a kid, I learned a hula
about pupu. Being a stuck in the mud purist, I do not like that word
pupu and I knew the stuff before as hors d'oeuvres and will always use
that term. Funny how language changes.
