    Meh… I did consider that. But it seemed like too obscure a reference and well… at least now they understand the joke.

    Also, it wasn’t anything malicious, sorry that you got offended. It just didn’t read that much into it and simply answered the question.

      Today I heard of Amouranth… hard to confuse words when you’ve never heard one of them. Thanks for the response, it clarified.

      Yeah that thing that was in the news last week is such an old obscure reference, might as well have said 23 skidoo and asked if you’ve heard that Minnie is in the money, you’re right lol.

      I’m not offended (I probably should be, but), I’m just sad that the state of the world is such that Amon Amarth-to-Amouranth is immediately labeled idiocy rather than wordplay which at one time was widely understood to be a form of what used to be known as “a joke.”

        Again, nobody labeled you anything. Or if I did, it was confused. At most that means benign stuff such as “misunderstanding” or “auto-correct” or whatever. But that was more a manner of speaking because I simply didn’t put that much thought into why you said what you said because it didn’t really matter. I just wanted to answer that person’s question.
