| | + | *This is true, and there's definately a precedent. |
| | + | *The [[guitar]] page lists a similar reference to [[Strong Bad's Website]] under Fast Forward. |
| | + | *While slightly different, the onomatopoeia is extremely similar to the previous version. |

| | + | {{stuffargsagainst}} |
| | + | *It could be a coincidence. |
| | + | *It may not be important enough to bother mentioning. |
| | + | *In guitar, Strong Bad says "jug jigga". In death metal, Brainkreig says "jugga jigga wugga". They're not the same. |
| | + | *Also, in guitar, Strong Bad describes the sound of a rhythm guitar as "jug jigga", but in death metal, it is the bassist and the drummer who say "jugga jigga wugga". |
| | + | *onomatopoeia is the spelling out of a sound, SB likes music and guitars therefore he is bound to spell it now and again, and there only so many ways to descirbe the sound in words. Not worthy of mention. |
| | + | *Not a solid enough reference to be noted. |
| | + | *At the time of typing, [[Strong Bad's Website]] doesn't have this fact so why this article? |

[edit] Taranchulae
"Mort", as in the name "Mort Dougland", is the French word for "death".
From: death metal
Posted on: 19:29, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Arguments for:
- It is true, makes sense in the context, and is somewhat interesting.
Arguments against:
- "Mort" is a Latin root meaning death, so it would go back further than French.
Additional comments:
- We could reword this fact to state Latin instead of French.
I went on one of those free translation sites, and even though it may not be entirely accurate, it says "mort" is indeed French for "death".
- Now that I think about it, you're right. Stupid me.
- Note that the original wording isn't technically wrong, just that the French word is derived from the Latin root.
- It's probably just short for Mortimer.
Proposed revision:
"Mort", as in the name "Mort Dougland", is a Latin root meaning "death".
Arguments for:
- Fixes problem listed above.
- Re: arg 2: although the Latin word is "mortuus", the root is "mort", from which we get English word like "mortal", "postmortem", etc.
Arguments against:
- Mort is an actual name(Short for Mortimer), so this isn't really necessary.
- The actual latin word is "Mortuus".
- "Mortuus" is actually part of the perfect (i.e. indicating a past action) form of the verb meaning "to die." (morior, mori, mortuus sum)
- The Latin word meaning "death" is mors, mortis
- In french the T is silent, but not in Dougland's name. Mort is also short for Mortimer.
- The T isn't silent in the Latin root.
Additional comments:
- "Mort latin" brings up 2,270,000 results on Google. "Mortuus latin" brings up 40,900.
- The first thing that comes up in a search of "Mort latin" is Mort Crim, who later down the page has a reference to Latin America.
- Although Mort is an actual name, we are discussing "death" because of its email: "death metal".
- I don't think TBC would just randomly pick a name for the director of Taranchula's death metal video, and it would turn out to be something like "Mort".
Why not change it to "is derived from a Latin root"? Far more accurate and then we don't have to worry about all this Latin form business.
- Er, it already says "Latin root".
- Sorry, I just got a little too excited.
- Also: Wiktionary articles on mori and mors.
- Guys, regardless of what the name is short for, this is a legitimate real reference to something, because I doubt a lot of Wiki members know this.
- I'd say it's a pretty commonly known Latin root. Mortician, Morticia Addams, Rigor Mortis...
- Morton, Mortimer...
- Actually, the names Morton, Mortimer, and Mort don't have anything to do with the Latin root other than that they a cute allusion, according to babynames.com and babynamesworld.com. Morticia, on the other hand, seems contrived enough.
- Hence the reason I added them. I'm one of the naysayers.
- "Mort" probably is short for Morton or Mortimer, but the thing is, it also refers to death. It could be coincidence, yes, but honestly, I'd find that to be more of a stretch than the alternate, given that TBC could've used any name in existance, yet chose one related to the subject matter.
- I didn't say it wasn't common. I said I'm sure that there are quite a few Wiki-ers out there that don't know what it means. And it isn't along Pikachu lines.

[edit] Horriffic?
Though "extracurriculariffic" is obviously not a word, the "riffic" part borrows from "terrific", which is spelled with one "f", so, as much as can apply to made-up words, it's misspelled.
From: death metal
Posted on: 02:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Arguments for:
- The word is obviously a portmanteau of extracurricular and terrific, so there is no reason (other than it being a goof) for TBC to spell it with an extra f.
Arguments against:
- Even if "extracurriculariffic" is based on the word terrific, it's still not a goof. TBC may very well have wanted to spell it with two "f"s, and they made up the word.
- The fact sounds rather awkward.
- Agreed. By the time my brain was done untangling this "fact" I had a headache.
- "Extracurricularific" looks like it might have a long I sound, and "extracurricularrific" isn't much better.
- It's a made-up word.
- Even if this is true, it's not very fun or interestingB
- I took the double f as being intentional, and that they just felt like adding the word "riff" in there to make it more silly.
Additional comments:
- Perhaps a reword is in order, but the fact is a legitimate goof.
- What are you talkin' about, Emily? This delves into the realm of picayune nitpicking.
- "Terriffic" is a common misspelling of "terrific".
- It could've been spelled eckstruh-cuhricyular-riffick and still been right.
- If it was a totally "made-up word," as the argument against suggests, then that may be so, but it's not - it's a combination of the components of two words, each of which should be properly spelled.
- Not if, by combining the words literally, the spelling suggests the wrong sound.
- If you are referring to the alleged "long i sound," it should be no different than in the original word "terrific." Whether the i is long or short is determined by the letters after it, not before.
- That should make logical sense, but when I look at the various forms above, I have to disagree. The way the Chaps spelled it is at least as good as the other ways, whether or not it's literally "correct".
