Fly on the Wall's definitions
The painfully British spelling of liter. A liter is a few ounces shy of a quart.
In fact, it's downright bashful, because when it was first put into use, it was only a marketing ploy to allow manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers to sell a smaller amount of product for the same price! The only reason we still buy things by the liter, so many years later, is because there's no way that greedy businesses are going to go back to giving us a full quart of product when we pay for one.

Even if you spell Litre Britishly, you still pronounce the E before the R, but you exaggerate the sharpness of the T, just in case anyone might have mistaken you for American. Besides, it makes people laugh, and that's a good thing, right?
Who knows why you capitalize the L!?!

Get the Litremug. Only a person who has never been outside Boston would think that only people from Boston say bang a uey.

Get the Bang a ueymug. An excuse for Americans to pretend to speak Chinese with a Japanese accent. It's hard to say who they're making fun of.
Chinese: It call "lo mein".
Japanese: That what I say, "lroh-main".
American, chanting:
Ra-men!

Get the Hey Zeusmug. People on the other side of the big drink need to quit fussing around with aerials. What they needed were antennae. Transmitted radio and TV are so last millennium any way.

Get the aerialmug. A name that Catholicism almost succeeded in removing from the Christian vocabulary by replacing it with Latin-based bastardizations that honor Zeus instead of God's son. This corruption was inherited nearly universally by the rest ofChristianity.
Hispanic Catholics preserve the divine name of Zeus most accurately, and call out, Hey Zeus when praying. Unsatisfied with that sacrilege, they insist upon naming little boys Hey Zeus as well.
English-speaking Christians are a little less callous about calling Yeshua by Zeus' name by pronouncing it "Zuss", with the prefix "Je". "Je" is a French word, so this along with most of the other silliness in the English language was probably their idea.

Get the Yeshuamug. A real loser, a laugh and a half, someone pretending to be a man.
Based upon a Spike TV advertisement for some stuff that no real man would want in his body.

This is Bob. Bob needs help. He isn't a real man, so he takes some medicine that will be a man for him.
This is Bob's wife. She just fell in love with the medicine and left Bob. See how happy she is.
