Two things that I'm not sure if they are room 101 or 102.

1) People, mainly Americans, who insist on calling themselves BJ like its a normal thing. Few people do it with other initials, why the BJ obsession? :-k :-k

2) Near two decades later and I still find myself singing the propaganda song from Beyond Good and Evil any time anyone says "propaganda".

I've never met or heard of anyone being referred to as BJ except for Boris Johnson, who I think it is very apt for.

Boris Johnson is really more of a BE.

I can't hear the word "phenomenon" without humming the Muppets' "Mahna Mahna".

Ditto. I thought it was a family joke until my girlfriend said the other day "You know they don't actually sing 'phenomenon'."

Yes, I know, I thought that was the joke.... it's just the rhythm of the words.

I had to actually look it up, as I could have sworn there was a closer relation to the word and the song than it just following the same syllable and stress pattern, but no, it's coincidence. I have a vague memory of there being a version with the word phenomenon actually sang to the same tune, but it would have been from when I was a kid twenty-plus years ago. Apparently it was written for a Swedish exploitation documentary about people with over-the-top sex lives.

I think there was a muppets episode when the film Phenomenon came out and they did something around it then. Or I may be imagining it.

In my head there's a connection to the Travolta film, so you may well be right.

Me too! :lol:

I didn't even like the bloody song - I found it highly irritating. God knows why I didn't just turn my speakers off during the install, but hey =;

Crowdsourced swearing clock. I've got some new phrases from this thing to hurl at people and things I don't like.
