I was reminded of this after my phone autocorrected "honestly" into Throckmorton.

    First off: Nice username 😎

    Secondly: Is that an actual episode or is that an edit? It’s the Simpsons so it’s hard to tell 😅

      Thanks.

      And it’s an edit from s8e23 “Homer’s Enemy” about Frank Grimes, or “Grimey”

  What’s the deal with phones auto-correcting to unusual proper nouns? Why is that even an option, if it’s literally a word I’ve never typed/swiped?

    I blame it on modem algorithms/“ai” crap.

    I noticed like 5 years ago that my phone started switching words I use all the time and it just kept getting worse to the point I have to spell out the word crap.

      And in the last year or two mine has started to randomly capitalize words that absolutely don’t need it.

  Extra funny bc of Throckmorton’s sign which is a penis joke in radiology.

      tldr: His given name was Francis, though I like Throckmorton as that…

  Pft Throck’s real friends call him The Throckmeister.

  Clearly from an English textbook. Tis a common name around our way. Just doing a bit of skateboarding before receiving a hamper from a rich land-owning uncle, before setting off to colonise a small country and borrowing some sacred artefacts for a few hundred years.
