- | * | + | *The reason why this is called "The Lost Email!" is because after [[The Brothers Chaps]] made email 21, [[cartoon]], they went ahead and made email 23, [[little animal]], skipping over number 22. Between [[vacation]] (#40) and [[invisibility]] (#41), The Brothers Chaps made email 22. |

- | * | + | *The article on [[Wikipedia:Cricket|cricket]] is a reference to America's stereotyped attitude to the sport of cricket which the English are renowned for embracing. |

Examples include words like ''annexe, programme, shoppe, olde, pointe, towne,'' and ''grille,'' and famous names such as ''Locke''. |
- | * | + | *According to [[Wikipedia:The Guardian|The Guardian]]: "The King Of Town Eats Treacle". Although the King of Town is known for his proclivity for strange food items, [[Wikipedia:Molasses|treacle]] is not all that strange. The word is odd-sounding to American ears, but it's really just molasses. |
- | + | *"[[Wikipedia:Bollocks|Bollocks]]" literally means "testicles" in Britain and Ireland. However, it can also be used in the same general sense as "crap" or "nonsense" — although the word itself is much stronger. That said, Strong Bad misspells it as "bullocks", which refers to young bulls. | |
