Li'l Brudder vs Little Brother?

Anyone think the name of this character might be a reference to the retro-rap group Little Brother? We know TBC like old-school rap, and LB are one of the leading groups in the retro-rap movement. On the flip side, "little brother" isn't exactly a unique phrase. It's probably a stretch, but knowing TBC's penchant for rap references, I thought it was worth putting out there.

Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren wrote a kids book quite popular in parts of Europe about Lillebror and his friend Karlsson. Now that's probably even more of a stretch, but who knows -- maybe Li'l Brudder is yet another character with Swedish background, so friendly with Strong Badia... Csman 09:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I think it's all speculation. Yes, "little brother" is really not a unique term. And the German word "Bruder" (brother) seems to be somewhat closer to "Brudder" than the Swedish version.  Loafing 09:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
