So NOT into rap or Eminem, yet it still shouldn’t really surprise me that we share a spot on a Venn diagram!

Another trope: No such thing as “Q” palindromes. Here’s one I did when someone challenged me at work long ago:

Qadaffi. No son I? Fadda Q!

The phonetic spelling there works especially well if one grew up in a Brooklyn neighborhood and remain open to the implied father/son melodrama.

Perhaps the German friend thought the question was about a music group or artist, such as +44, or M+M, or 3.

Gives you a hard time
