Bob Backlund’s heel turn did wonders for increasing my word power.

In seventh grade reading class, we had to complete Personal Vocabulary Lists several times during the year. The idea was to find thirty new or unfamiliar words and fill out worksheets listing the definitions, part of speech, where we found it, and so on.

This was only a few years after Bob started using those ten-dollar words in his interviews, so I went through my old issues of WWF Magazine to find them.

So much from The Simpsons.
The professional quizzers on The Chase even acknowledge that's where they and many others know answers from. Mostly Anerican history and culture but many other things too.

I still remember it from Saved by the Bell but I never needed it and found it amusing.

Why is Canadian geography a weird ass word?

We laugh at VKMism now but my primary school English teacher took a bit of undue credit as to where I was getting my weirdly expanded vocabulary from.
