Kweisi Mfume, on MSNBC, said "Oback Barama." And then, a minute later, referred to him as

[hisownpetard]

again as "Barama."

With a handle like 'Kweisi Mfume,' you'd think he'd pay attention to pronouncing someone else's name correctly, ya know?

name"? It was quite humorous.

[hisownpetard]

(also known as a 'tip of the slongue')

To a student: "You have hissed all my mystery lectures, and were caught fighting a liar in the quad. Having tasted two worms, you will leave by the next town drain" ("missed ... history," "lighting a fire," "wasted two terms," "down train")

[Eurobabe]

13. I thought I heard Barama

Maybe it's a new thing, and we didn't get the memo? :rofl:

[hisownpetard]

15. It might catch on, although it wasn't even intentional.

[anamandujano]

[Cha]
