The recent kids' movie _The Sandlot_, available on videocassette, has a

sequence where one kid demonstrates the making of a smore to another kid

who, inexplicably and incredulously, didn't know beans about smores. The

sequence begins with the ignorant kid taking a literal reading on "s'more"

and not recognizing it as relexicalized. My kids practically know this

movie by heart, which is why it is so easy for me to recall this sequence.
