Back in the day, we had mangetout (man-get-out) who everbody thought of as mangey trout and Sealemon (Seale(his last name)-mon) who everybody thought of as sea lemon. If you’re going to run the words together, you assume the risk that others will misplace the break.

Feel sorry for those people in the UK who live in Scunthorpe.

It’s MAN GET OUT???
Jesus wept. I’ve been reading it as mange tout, something my rusty french translated as “Eat it all.”
Fuck.

Me too, I think we are being wooshed.
Yes, you are being whooshed.
(Everyone else knows that he wanted “magnet out” and simply misspelled it when he registered.)

A very good laugh. Is that one of Scrooge McDuck’s nieces? Ok, maybe I need to alter the name a little.

No, I get it, it’s similar to “the fisheroo”
Dafi Sheroo just sounds like a reasonable sounding name from an intentional misunderstanding of Dahfisheroo

That’s true, but Mangetout has stated before that he meant “eat all,” as in his ambition to sample every kind of food in the world. He was surprised and amused when folks called him Snowpea and Man Get Out.
This is entirely correct.
Yeah, he made a quick comment in the other thread. Well, just count me whooshed, once again…
“Whooshed” I would presume would be the description of the sound of something flying right over my head, but I always think of a toilet being flushed. Perhaps more apt in my case.
And don’t think that I’ll forget your name Little Nemo…
