When I was in high school, I knew a guy who aspired to "open a zoo...like Steve Irwin."
(Peripherally related, but related nonetheless.) Quote:In Jr. High School, I would take a gummi bear, squeeze its ears into points so it looked like Yoda, and then I would say to it "Eat you, I will!". And of course then I would it eat.

One of my Aussie friends loves using the Japanese exclamation "Yosh!" a lot.

Quote:One of my Aussie friends loves using the Japanese exclamation "Yosh!" a lot. I say the Japanese word Sayonara sometimes instead of goodbye. You'd be surprised how many people don't know what that means. ![[Image: tsjoJuC.png]](https://i.imgur.com/tsjoJuC.png)

I only know it from a song by The Pogues. Great band, great song from a great album.

Is it sad that everytime I hear "Sayonara," I think of the "Sayonara Boys" from "I Survived a Japanese Game Show!"? (Yes, this was the inspiration for THAT CC level...)

I think we all have weird (or at least off-beat) associations with certain words and phrases. Some are just more obscure than others.

Every time I hear "Hot Ziggity!", I think of a certain game series whose name I probably shouldn't mention here, just in case it inspires yet another yet another thread.
It'll probably be a while before I start another thread, lest I be tarred and feathered.
