Ok, I'm sorry, but Lemony Snicket... it may be fun to say, but I think its a silly name.  It sounds like some sort of candy! "Hey, want a Lemony Snicket?" "Ok!... num, num, num..." "Haha! You just ate an author!" "  ?" Killerzzz |

You're right Killerzzz, it reminds me of a Snicker all the time ;D
James Blunt, doesn't 'blunt' mean something in English?
"A blunt is a cigar or (L) which is wider than a cigarillo and not quite as wide as a traditional cigar. These cigars typically consist of two main parts; the inner leaf, which is similar to a cigarette rolling paper, except it is made of tobacco, and a thicker outer leaf which is rolled around the inner leaf in a spiral. In most commercially available blunts, the "leaves" are not actual tobacco leaves but rather paper made from tobacco pulp. The term blunt generally does not refer to more expensive, hand-rolled cigars.
Blunts get their name from their 'broad or rounded front', and were named as such in the 1800s to differentiate them from other cigars with a tapered, pointed tip. Later, as machines gradually replaced humans in the rolling process, blunts began to be characterized by a tapered, yet still open, smoking end, pre-clipped during manufacturing. The word blunt is also sometimes used as street slang in certain areas for cigar which has had its tobacco filling removed by the consumer in order to replace it with marijuana, Damiana or other smoking Herbs." source Wiki

" Annie Brocoli". I dunno, I know its supposed to sound silly for kids but the name annoys me. She's the character of an actress/singer in Quebec; she does kid shows and songs. FYI.  It could just be because I never liked eating my broccoli as a child. ;D Killerzzz |

I heard that Pink is actually a very sensible and sensitive person.  I've seen a music CD called "Tribute to the Notorious B.I.G.". I vaguely remember a Rapper called "B.I.G." or even "Notorious B.I.G." being shot at one time so that he died, and thus this tribute CD was made for his memorial. By the way, I had an "Aha-effect" only a few days ago: I finally understood the meaning of the name "Cinderella" ... You know what a cinder is, don't you ... ? Ah, and my absolute favourite: "Jonny Depp". Because a "depp" is in Bavarian language kind of an idiot, nincompoop, simply a stupid person. AND in an interview recently he actually SAID he could live with this meaning ! (Of this name.) Another one: The famous Chinese pianist with the name "Lang Lang" (seems to be his actual, real, natural name). "Lang" means in German language simply "long". |

Heh... Pink! That's kinda interesting about her turning red. Oh gods @ EK: Pet shop boys...  I didn't have to know that. It's times like these where I wish I wasn't so obsessed with Urban Dictionary. And hmmm... how about the Cash in Johnny Cash? You'd have expected his eyes to be made of giant gold coins. ;D |

Most people had no idea then and I'm pretty sure most still don''t now. I'm equally sure they knew exactly what it meant and were having a laugh.
Hoodwinking the public like that is remarkably easy. Did you ever hear 'Nikita' by Elton John? It's a love song and he put this gorgeous girl in the video so that anyone ignorant of Russian names (IE most of us in the West) would not realise that Nikita is actually a man's name. Made me laugh, that did ;D

Alrik - I must admit I never worked out 'Cinderella' before, myself.
'Red hot girl' or 'smoking hot girl'. Funny stuff ;D

Gods... laughing at those "goodie two shoes mommies" trying to instil a "virginal" attitude in their daughters, you mean? Nope, never heard the song. Elton's a good singer but I rarely care much for weepies.  LOL @ the Russian name thingy... damn, that got me fooled too. After all, I too thought that Nikita was solely a female's name probably because it is used so, in certain other cultures. *** Same here. Nice work figuring that out, Alrik. "Red hot", eh? LOL ... "Whoo look at me... I'm on fire! " |

Nah, laughing at pretty much everyone, Luci. 'Pet Shop Boy' is VERY obscure slang.
