Short YouTube clip (creator Hadar Shemesh) recounting a humorous anecdote: her husband Gil mispronounced "salmon" at a New York bagel shop, saying a vowel-only form that sounded like "semen", and the server mistakenly prepared cinnamon cream cheese. The clip highlights the pronunciation point that the word "salmon" has a silent L.

So when we were in New York a few years back, my husband went to a bagel store looking for salmon.
Cream cheese because.
He loves it, I don't know why. So he remembered that there is no L sound from all my videos. And I always talk about it, but I guess he forgot what vowel comes before. So he walks up to the guy.
At the counter asking.
For Poppy's bagel.
With semen.
Cream cheese, tomatoes and onion. Semen. Now, the guy at the counter was probably thinking.
He probably meant.
Cinnamon cream cheese. So he prepared.
For him a Poppy's.
Bagel with sweet.
Cinnamon cream.
Cheese, tomato and onion. Now, my husband Gil was kind of like, okay, this is not what I.
Asked for, but.
I'm just going to take it and say thank you. Salmon. So the word.
Salmon has no L.
So it's not salmon, and it's definitely not semen.
