OK's original presentation as "all correct" was later varied with spellings such as "Oll Korrect" or even "Ole Kurreck".

band names growing up in the 80s were the best for that: all children/destroy christ or against christ/devils companions depending on which church lady you listened to knights in satans service and the contemporary chat abbreviation lucifer our lord seeing patterns that arent there is a hell of a drug and i think those people all joined q now instead of looking for the devil in rock band names.

FMguru posted:ive seen those things (attempts to reverse-engineer an existing word into an acronym) called "backronyms" i have always thought of "backronym" as a tortured phrase specifically selected to make a cool initialism, like the "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism" act. you're right that it's very similar, but to me a backronym is intended to be an abbreviation and they just picked the word before the phrase, while this "Fornication Under Consent of King" stuff the word never stood for anything in the first place.

When a psychologist or psychiatrist testifies during a defendant's competency hearing, the psychologist or psychiatrist shall wear a cone-shaped hat that is not less than two feet tall. The surface of the hat shall be imprinted with stars and lightning bolts. Additionally, a psychologist or psychiatrist shall be required to don a white beard that is not less than 18 inches in length and shall punctuate crucial elements of his testimony by stabbing the air with a wand.

It opened in 15 theaters and grossed $108,000 in its opening weekend.[61] Word of mouth later spread, and the film became a "sleeper hit", making over $600,000 domestically and nearly $2 million overseas, for a worldwide gross of approximately $2.7 or $29.4 million.[61]

Kanchō (カンチョー) is a prank performed by clasping the hands together in the shape of an imaginary gun and attempting to poke an unsuspecting victim's anus, often while exclaiming "Kan-CHO!".[1] It is a common prank among children in East Asia such as Japan.[2] In Korea it is called ddongchim (Korean: 똥침).[3][4] In China, it is popularly called Qiānnián shā. The word is a slang adoption of the Japanese word for enema (浣腸, kanchō).[5] In accordance with widespread practice, the word is generally written in katakana when used in its slang sense, and in kanji when used for enemas in the medical sense. In English-speaking countries, the prank is known as goosing.[6] In popular culture Boong-Ga Boong-Ga is a video game for the Korean and Japanese market that allows the player to engage in simulated kanchō. "Ddong Chim" is the title of a first season episode of Kim's Convenience which focuses on the fallout from the prank. See also
