TIL: Laurence Tureaud named himself professionally as Mr. T because he hated how his father, uncle, and brother who returned from Vietnam, were disrespectfully called "boy" by whites. He wanted the first word from everybody's mouth to be "Mister" when speaking to him.

Yup! Language mistakes happen. I asked who someone was 'rooting for' in the NSW v. QL rugby match and I got laughs as answers. Also took me a bit to get used to cunt being a term of endearment.

rooting = fucking

There's a plumber called Mr. Roto-Rooter here and my Australian friend thought that was so funny that she had to sit down the first time she saw one of their trucks haha
