just heard a cracker song and after the line

“just so we’re not being sexist…” you can hear someone talking in the background saying “what’s wrong with being sexy…”

from Spinal Tap the movie…

Elvis had a twin that died during birth (I think)…so that must mean the mother was carrying Elvii….yeah matt that was for you…ur such a skeptic….:)

from Mel:

” Although it is often supposed that octopi is the ‘correct’ plural of octopus, and it has been in use for longer than the usual Anglicized plural octopuses, it in fact originates as an error. Octopus is not a simple Latin word of the second declension, but a Latinized form of the Greek word oktopous, and its ‘correct’ plural would logically be octopodes.
Other words ending in -us show a very varied pattern. Like octopi, the plural hippopotami is now generally taken to be either funny or absurdly pedantic, and the usual plural is hippopotamuses. Common usage appears to indicate a slight preference for termini rather than terminuses, but syllabuses rather than syllabi. Other usual forms include cacti and gladioli, and our files at the dictionary department show scarcely any examples of nucleuses or funguses. (Omnibi is simply a joke, and quite ungrammatical in Latin!) “
