As a reminder of my wrong answer on the TV show Eggheads I had a shirt made up for my second day gimmick as the Italian Minigolfer 'Trompone'!

How is that a three course meal?
Sign spotted in Blackpool - how does a Pizza usefully illustrate a three course meal!?
Perhaps it was a Trompone!

Bacon, Whiskey, Fish and...
...Trompone!?
Of course the answer was Calzone - I'll never get that question wrong in a pub quiz now.

Contributing to the Oxford English Dictionary
Following my invention of a completely new word during my appearance on Quiz Show Eggheads I would like to suggest the word ‘trompone’ as a new entry to the Oxford English Dictionary.
My suggested meanings for the word are:
1. An incorrect version of the Italian word for ‘Trouser leg’
2. A new type of Pizza
3. An answer given in resignation in the faint hope it may be the correct answer in a TV Quiz Show
If you agree with my idea please leave your comments.
You can contribute to the OED here.
Below, my team mates react to my answer.

Happy National Calzone Day!
Happy National Calzone Day 2019.
Where will you be getting your calzone from today? |
Whether you call them calzone, or if you're like me refer to them as "trompone", I hope you have a wonderful day.
Mmmmm calzone. Note: my trouser legs are not pictured |
National Calzone Day is always celebrated on the 1st of November.
