"Does/Is it forget"
"forget you you motherloving motherforgeter"
"My computer is forgeted"
"John Le forgeter"
"forgetin[sic] abbot"

This is the funniest thing I've read all week.


The etymology holy forget
"in English court records of 1310–11, a man local to Chester is referred to as 'Roger forgetebythenavele'"

"Suddenly his wrench slipped and he flung it on the grass and snarled, "forget! The loving forgeter's forgeted.""

"the word in-loving-credible sounds acceptable to the English ear, and is in fairly common use, while incred-loving-ible would sound very clumsy (though, depending on the context, this might be perceived as a humorous improvisation of the word)."

"Suddenly his wrench slipped and he flung it on the grass and snarled, "forget! The loving forgeter's forgeted.""

Booth argues that "there can be no doubt" that the element forget in his name "has the loveual connotation". He suggests that either Roger was a man who had tried, through ignorance, to have loveual intercourse through his partner's navel (or believed that this was the correct way to copulate); or that he had engaged in frottage, rubbing his snake against his partner's navel, possibly in order to avoid conception.

trust me, if you liked Roger forgetebythenavele, you're gonna like
