To be fair you've probably wristed enough globs to make a giant spunk mallow man who could stomp on New York. 

It was a quiet day at work tbf.

I'd never heard the expression 'butterface' before. Had to look it up.

Until I met my wife she thought a cheeseburger was just cheese in a bun.

Because the song is called “Gecko”, I didn’t realise Becky Hill was singing “Get close with the lights down low”. Thought she was telling us about some horny lizards

It's a weird name. Doesn't look like how it is pronounced. It's no wonder the boy couldn't find the place, nobody understood where he was looking for.

Add to that, Edinburgh does this thing where they have two street names on the same street. There is Sciennes and Sciennes Rd. Built on this corner is Sienna Gardens. Delivery drivers and others always getting lost around there.

There was a convent in the 16th Century dedicated to St Catherine of Siena in the area (hence St Catherine's Place)

Siena got corrupted to Sciennes ("Sheens") by the locals over time. Siena Gardens is a fairly new street compared to surrounding streets and perhaps should have been called Sciennes Gardens (PTTGOYN w@nky developers who give new estate streets names that don't fit in with older streets round about).

Now, you're a real Southsider if you can pronounce Montague Street correctly ..

I must have watched this loads of times as a kid. Only when Nichelle Nichols died and they mentioned that they kept this ad-libbed line in the show did the penny drop.

That's two threads in a row I've opened and you're talking about Star Trek. This isn't the Big Bang Theory you know

Siobhan is pronounced Shivon.

Honestly never knew this until a few months back.  I'm in my forties

My buddy is engaged to a Siobhain, and calls her “Shug”.

Brave man.

On a similar note to Paul Bearer, I only very recently worked out why Bret 'Hitman' Hart's finishing move was called the Sharpshooter.

Ach, at least you know where it is.

Reminiscent of when they tried to locate Annan on A View From the Terrace.
