But then how can it rhyme with "fool"?
(We shouldn't trust Sondheim on that point, anyway; he doesn't realize that "scone" doesn't rhyme with "bone" if you're actually English.)

Sondheim has a song about a targeting reticle?
Monday night all the historical romance readers were chuckling at the gun talk. Kind of like when someone mispronounces brazier.

No, he has a song about a reticule (that is, a victorian purse).
Though, he totally *would* write a song about a targeting reticle if he happened to be in the right context.
