What word has all five vowels, and in the order we learned them in grammar school?
Oh, and you can add "LY" to the end of it, invoking that extra "sometimes Y" rule as well.

Edam is a cheese made in Holland. EDAM is also the word "MADE" spelled backwards. Ergo, "EDAM" is "MADE" backwards.

FACETIOUS(LY)
I have know idea why I knew that. It may not be the only one, though.

Ah, an overseas cheese.
I work for a maker of VT and NY cheeses, but had never heard of EDAM.
I got the "made" backwards part; one of those cleverly worded quiz questions.

You got it.
And maybe you read it here in the past, I've mentioned it from time to time over the years but never remember where or to who or when!
I'm too lazy to search...
I don't think there are others.

I don't think I knew it from here. But I looked it up just now. ABSTEMIOUS and ARSENIOUS are the others, but I wouldn't even know what they MEAN, much less use them in conversation.

You're not being facetious, are you?
