Instructions · Help That's No Wrap! Bubs mispronounces Dangeresque's name as "Danger-skew," as though trying to read it phonetically and failing horribly. From: stunt double Posted on: 22:55, 12 October 2005 (UTC) Arguments for: Not that obvious. That's the joke - he is reading it from a cue card; no one briefed him on how to pronouce Dangeresque before he appeared in the film. His squinting justifies this Arguments against: Too obvious. It's a joke, mention it in the transcript only, other than that it is pretty obvious. Additional comments: I daresay this is not that obvious. But never mind that. This fact has been on the page for nearly a year, during which time it was tacitly accepted by nearly everyone who read it. Why drag it through this process now? This can easily be reduced to a note in the transcript: Bubs pronounces Dangeresque as Danger-Skew. I don't see why it needs its own fun fact. I disagree. You've got the what but not the why. The fun fact doesn't tell us why either. The fact should be revised to say "as though reading from a cue card." It's enough just to say that he's reading it. He could have just put down his script, for example. I don't think the "why" is so obvious. Bubs isn't squinting or anything when he says it; all we know is that he pronounces it phonetically. I vote for the transcript idea. If this is accepted, it really should be reworded. Bubs doesn't fail to pronounce it phonetically; he does (as noted immediately above). I disagree. Even trying to pronounce it phonetically, he really does butcher it.

Instructions · Help A Heaping Bowl of Fish Sauce Fish sauce is a salty sauce made from fermented seafood, integral in Southeast Asian cooking. From: stunt double Posted on: 22:55, 12 October 2005 (UTC) Arguments for: Interesting. Arguments against: Not obscure enough. Additional comments: Did you know that before you read this item? What do you mean not obscure enough? Fish Sauce is completely unheard of in the Western World. Maybe fairly common among under-30, metropolitan types who cook Thai occasionally, but that's not everybody by a long shot. He may have been simply referring to any sauce used on fish. I doubt it, since "Fish sauce" exists.
