What if Boney M. was short for Boney Montana?

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.
Say hello to my little Frenchman!
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!
I thought it was for Mmmmjenkins
I legitimately have no idea how I ought to react to that. 🤔
I think you're onto something here

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
