No, you do not know someone named “Oranjello” or “Lemonjello.” No, you do not know someone named “Shithead Asshole” pronounced “Shih THAYD ah SHO lee” or otherwise. No, you do not know people named Female, Vagina, Clitoris, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, or Syphilis. I have no idea whatsoever what it is that drives people to make shit up, but for fuck’s sake, at least invent a name that hasn’t already been covered by Snopes, you idiots. Oh, you’ll swear on a stack of bibles that it’s true! Your friend’s nurse’s daughter is an elementary school teacher and she saw it! Whatthefuck ever. ---

Oranjello and lemonjello are from some black female comedians routine, i can’t think of her name at the moment but i saw that act years ago on comedy central. ---

I have actually met someone named Santangelo. I do not know whether it derives from “Saint Anne’s Jell-O.” ---

But if you’re smart, you won’t believe me when I say I don’t believe you. And you’d be right. I do believe you. Sadly, there is at least one member here who has claimed to have known brothers named Lemonjello and Orangejello. Slightly different spelling, but same legendary names. ---

I knew a girl named Vagina. No joke. She went by a different name, but that was her actual first name. ---

There used to be a woman on the local news here named ‘Ragina.’ It wasn’t pronounced, ‘Ra-geen-uh’ like you’d think… it rhymed with ‘vagina.’ Not quite the same thing, but close. ---

You mean like the city in Canada? Regina is pronounced “reh-JYE-na”. We used to jokingly refer to a high-ranking official in Mali as Prime Minister Asweepeh (asswipe). ---

A friend of mine did tell me that her mom (a doctor) met someone who named her kids the Oranjello and Lemonjello names…I told her I read it on snopes but she swore it was the truth. I don’t think it was out of racism or that she was lying. She really didn’t seem the type. ---

I’ve always wondered if the girl named Vagina was really named Virginia, and a combination of odd accents and bad ears created the mix up. I actually think that a lot of people have really bad memories, and think that things they’ve heard actually happened to them. It’s only when you call them on it, and they actually take time to think, that they realize it was just a story they were told My mom is like this when it comes to exaggerating things. She exaggerates for effect (where it’s perfectly obvious in context), but then exaggerates it even more, forgetting that it was already exaggerated. Then she gets surprised when she notices that it isn’t as big as she thought. ---
