Bubble Teas?

Homestar's "bubbleties" is aurally identical to "Bubble tea," a fashionable drink involving chilled tea and large tapioca balls. Is this worth including in "Real-World References," even though by no stretch of the imagination could it be considered an outright allusion?

Arguments for:

  • Um... Bubbleties. Bubble teas. It's worth noting, if people hadn't heard of bubble tea.

Arguments against:

  • "Real-World References" is supposed to be limited to "clear references," and this is certainly not that.
  • Homestar was just mispronouncing Strong Bad's phrase (which was mispronounced in itself).
  • If you need to ask if it is worth noting, it probably isn't.

Additional comments:

  • If all "Real-World References" were just "clear references," this wiki would have a lot less info.
  • If we've all done our jobs then it would have exactly the same amount of info. It's not a good idea to put sketchy info in just for the sake of having more info. Quality > Quantity.

Suppleties

The word "suppleties" means "supplements" in Dutch.

Arguments for:

Arguments against:

  • It's just Strong Bad mispronouncing "subtleties" with his old, bad accent.
  • This doesn't make much sense in context.
