What the fuck are you talking about

Boney M is a 1970’s West German disco group known for songs like Rasputin.

The M clearly stands for Mahoney.

Actually, it stands for Mmmbologna

It isn't though. It's named after a character on an Australian TV show, who was named after Napoleon Bonaparte and nicknamed Boney.

Ooooh ok, so then his full name is Napoleon Boney Montana.

I went into a rabbit hole.

Tony Montana is named after Joe Montana.

The name Hannah Montana was made up by Miley Cyrus. The character was originally named Alexis Texas, but they went with her suggestion.

Alexis Texas (the adult film star) is a combination of her actual middle name and the state of Texas where she's from.

You're lying!

[-] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 9 months ago

I thought it was for Mmmmjenkins

I legitimately have no idea how I ought to react to that. 🤔
