The name “
Mandy” derives from the Latin “Mandum”, meaning “projectile”.
Alternatively, the name “Mongeon” derives from colonial French, meaning “to slap”.
For this reason, the name “
Mandy Mongeon” is common within the French speaking regions of Canada. However, due to the cultural association of Canada with Ice-Hockey,
Mandy Mongeon can be re-iterated from “projectile slapper” into the adverb “puck-slapper” (whereby a hockey
player makes contact with the puck by forceably slapping it).
Not only does the name hold cultural sporting reference to Canada and the NHL, but a recent study by McGill University concluded that persons named as such (from birth) were 77% more likely than others to feel culturally inferior because of their French ancestry, and wish they were instead of British or
American origin.
Because of such psychological inferiority, a
Mandy Mongeon
will likely be involved in violent crime, or alternatively, participate in high impact sports (such as
football, kick-boxing or rugby) to inflict pain on her relative counterparts, simply for the resentment of being French-
Canadian. As a result, such characteristics develop later on in life, and manifest in the form of taking pleasure in other people’s pain. When this theory was tested at McGill University in 2010, a subject (unknown to be an actor) was instructed to fall off a wall into some cedar chips. Of all the spectators, only 1 person laughed hysterically; a junior named Mandy Mongeon.
Person 1: "So you play hockey ey?"
Person 2: "...and rugby. I pretty much like to inflict pain in sports ey?"
Person 1: "Wow...you're
like a
Mandy Mongeon ey?"
Person 3: "That poor man just had a car accident"
Person 4: "Hahahahahaha.....that's amazing"
Person 3: "How is that amazing? He could have died!"
Person 4: "I dont know...i just find it funny. I guess i'm too much like a
Mandy Mongeon".
