The thing about watching (or listening to or reading) too much quality comedy is that all the phrases used there begin to sound ridiculous.

In my case, examples of this would include the job title alivaltiosihteeri; any animal’s name prefixed by ex (as in ”an ex-parrot”); Mary, Queen of Scots; and the number 42.

What? You want to know why I thought of this? Well… in Tim Burton’s Frankenweenie there’s a biology teacher who talks about an ex-frog. I thought it was funny.
