Saucifer

Noun: an amateur cook with limited cooking skills that is considered to be a fancy chef by simple folk. Derived from the French Saucier or sauce chef. While implying French suave sophistication, a Saucifer is not French. Nor is a Saucifer skilled in the art of making the classic mother sauces, or any sauce for that matter. The repertoire of a Saucifer is often limited to generously slathering grilled meat in KC Masterpiece barbecue sauce from a freshly opened bottle. Oddly, the term originates in Texas, and is particularly common in West Texas, where anything sophisticated or French is considered repugnant.
