When Taylor's character first meets Coward's, she stumbles over these two words in succession. Kabuku, for kabuki, and tycoon for typhoon. Almost certainly a goof, but I can't find the script anywhere to verify this. One of the funnier moments. [She makes some blunders too when screaming about the dogs, and so on.]

I love that scene because it just shows the extent of Elizabeth Taylor's talent. Contrary to what that worthless sack of sh*t John Waters says, this movie was not made by an entirely drunk crew, this was a professional endeavor, and Elizabeth Taylor was incredibly naturalistic in her acting and had a great range of mannerisms and little things that she did to make it look more real, it wouldn't surprise me if she actually planned to fumble the lines and actually rehearsed this, she was that good.
