What is a cummerbund? Why are you doing this to me?
This post's for all the google searchers out there who regularly hit on my website.
The "American Heritage Dictionary" (not normally my preferred dictionary) says;
SYLLABICATION: cum mer bund
PRONUNCIATION: kmr-bnd
NOUN: A broad sash, especially one that is pleated lengthwise and worn as an article of formal dress, as with a dinner jacket.
ETYMOLOGY: Hindi kamarband, from Persian : kamar, waist + band, band; see bund1.
So why is this blog called "My cummerbund fell in the toilet"?
It's a Simpson's quote. Barney Gumble says it, stumbling out of the toilet in the back of Moe's. It's the high school reunion episode (Lisa tells me, I can't remember these things, I'm more of a name-date-place sort of guy). If you don't know what I'm talking about, watch more TV. No just watch the Simpsons. We have observed over the years you sort people into two categories - those who watch the Simpsons, those who don't. Guess which sort of people we prefer (I don't even get how you can't NOT watch the Simpsons even if recent series have been losing their edge and many episodes are lazy and obvious, the old stuff is still GOLD).
Lisa and I usually use the phrase to indicate when one of us has done something to FUBAR the situation. Particularly when we lose something.
