Reliant is not a synonym for reliable

Plymouth Reliant K by flickr user John

Brett: For years I thought the Barenaked Ladies were using non-standard word choice (poetic license and all) to say that a K-car was a reliable automobile.  Then I realized that the Plymouth Reliant was one of the so-called K-cars, so the lyric was referring to the model; a nice Reliant (proper noun, not adjective) automobile.

Lori: I do not know what song you are talking about.

Brett: Apparently you've never been at a karaoke night where Scott and I have sung together.  The song, of course, is "If I Had a Million Dollars."
