“Call me Ivanna. Ivanna Mann!”
I’m just glad I wasn’t the only one who didn’t get In-Sink-Erator! Thanks for fessing up. When I figured it out not too long ago, I somewhat foolishly proudly announced it to my mom that I understood the pun and she was just kind of like :dubious: “You just now got that?”
I too feel that a bender happens over the course of several nights (where you are probably sleeping during the days), and probably involves some brawls, vandalism, or other hooliganism of some sort night after night.
We have two little boys in karate class with my kids who’s parents are from Mexico, and one of them spells his name Jauan, pronounced Joo-ahn. I was a bit confused when I first heard his name, but the kid had a conversation with me about how he spells his name. It was cute.
More likely it’s a reference to the chemical term “rare earth”. The rare earth elements are a group of elements that for geological reasons don’t form concentrated deposits. So it was difficult to find places where they could be commercially mined.
I just yesterday got that Bill Haley got the name for his band from “Halley’s comet”. :smack:
The Beatles aren’t from England. They’re from Liverpool! :smack:
I had no idea Jonathon Swift had anything to do with the Rock & Roll Era…
Is this supposed to be a joke? I don’t get it.
Pretend to be an American. 
I don’t get either of these “jokes”…
…and I get why REO put a fish with a tuning fork in its mouth on that album cover.
Think harder.
It wasn’t until I bought the DVD set and listened to the audio commentary that I realized that Michael J Fox played his own daughter as well his son in Back to the Future II. :smack: And that was one of my favorite movies growing up too.
I don’t have to pretend to be an American. I am one. I still don’t get it.
He’s got that really catchy blowjob song though.
Confession the first: I didn’t get the BEATles until I was in university, playing “Balderdash” coming up with fade definitions for words. I probably would have one the game but I gate a definition of one word as something or other as “infested by beatles”. My friend reading it said it: " Infested by Bee-at-uls. Let me guess, was it Ringo?"
I lost the game but ignorance fought!
Oh, come on. Multiple people ask what joke you were making, and this is how you respond?
Your professor was quite right about the pronunciation. Many of the rhymes and much of the scansion and the humor of the poem does not work unless you pronounce it Don Joo-ann. However, this is not because Byron was English and ignorant. It is all quite deliberate, and part of the joke of the poem. Byron was very cosmopolitan, widely traveled, and quite familiar with Spain.
I got it.Liverput? Lillipool? What’s the name of the country in Gullible’s Travels? Anyway, that’s where the Crickets (called the Morningside Crickets in some countries) are from, but folks think they’re named after that British game, you know, the one they play at Eaten.
I’m hoping you’re not including R.O.O.T.S. in that hate…
Futurama - Hermes. Planet Express is a delivery company. :smack:
Nevermind.
Same thing happened to me with Taylor Swift’s “You Belong With Me” video. I had seen it several times but never realized until someone else pointed it out that Swift is playing both girls in the video.
