Things to amuse you!

[curiouswombat]

Thing one is a challenge I saw on FB to alter the name of a music act to come up with something edible. The original suggestion was Fleetwood Mac'n'Cheese. This was quickly followed by The Rolling Scones, and a suggestion from someone else that in concert they should be supported by The Jam, and Cream

That's interesting. From its position in the middle of the sea I don't know which language Manx resembles, Welsh or Irish.

[curiouswombat]

Manx is much closer to both Irish and Scottish Gaelic - written down all three look quite different but, spoken, they are quite similar.

Like watching programmes made by TG4 on Alba. 😉

[curiouswombat]

Yes! I would guess you would get the same effect by listening to Manx radio's Gaelic hub - although, to be honest, my own grasp of Manx is not good enough to understand the broadcasts.

funny names! 😀

i've once found a similar challenge - change just one letter of a name band to turn it into something funny. and someone wrote - foo fighters --> poo fighters!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[curiouswombat]

Aha! We could have had the Food Fighters!

[kazzy_cee]

Those name changes are hilarious - I have nothing LOL!

[curiouswombat]

We remembered that one of us came up with Bread Sheeran as well :)

I am vastly amused!

Ramen at Work.... LOVE it. How about The Four Seasonings and the The Dave Clark Chive!

[curiouswombat]

Oh those are excellent!

[pondhopper]

My brain is not in clever mode these days but the names you came up with are funny!

Your language observations delight my linguists mind.

I am happy to have made you smile - and to amuse you with language snippets, too :)
