Has anybody wanted to snicker from the name of the tribe?


Seriously! It sounds suspiciously like "da homie," or when translated from current-day ebonics, "the cool [black] friend."

reply

Very true. Every time I see the word 'Dahomey' I unavoidably see the phrase "da homie" in my mind.

reply

You fool! I see you weren’t aware that “da homie” is Aguna for “Never Gonna Give You Up” as spoken by the Beninese.

"And my homies agree I look good in black!"

Jebediah feeds chickens, and Jacob plows, fool!

Haven't seen this yet. But that reminds me of when I watched Dr. Strange, as the villain, Dormammu has a name that sounds a lot like a Vietnamese curse word - or more like a curse "phrase". Watched that with my brother in theatres and we were both laughing.
