Not pies though are they.  Try putting some pancake on a plate with ice cream and selling it as "pie of the day", and see what happens to your account.

Yeah, that's probably not the best example because of the breadcrumbs. But they're not pancakes either really.

Some of the Ramadan half-moons are more like pasties or turnovers - both of which are definitely types of pie, so help me Allah.

I once thought that too, but as 'pizza pie' is a silly, overwrought term for 'a pizza', I think we're fully excused.

I've never heard it called a pizza pie outside of the song.

Yeah it was called that in the UK (Scotland at least) in the 70s. But then we also called them Avocado Pears and Continental Quilts so....

Or me. It's not even a fucking pie, what are they on about.

[touchingcloth]

Also it's a shit image.  The moon doesn't hit your eyes like any kind of pie of any size.  So the simile could be absolutely anything and achieve the same meaning.

Do people not realise that the "pie" in "pizza pie" has its origin in the "pie" of "pie Jesu"? In American culture pizzas are seen as godly, messianic.

It's pretty obvious that the words pizza and pita come from the same source.

Coined by Bebop.

That, and Seinfeld. "It's a pizza place where you make your own pie!"

Americans refer to pizza as "pie" because early 20th century Italian immigrants to the United States made and sold a pizza called a "pomidore pizza". This unknown Italian food was translated to "tomato pie" in English due to being round and cut into slices. ... Today, many New Yorkers still refer to pizza as "pie".

Oh we all have our reasons for being wrong, for sure.


Like once my little brother insisted that the chocolate bar 'wispa' had an 'h' in the name.  We got into such a row about it that I made a £10 bet with him that he was wrong, and he lost that bet of course, and then my dad told me to let him off because £10 was a lot of money for a six year old in 1990.


Same thing with Americans.

Whenever I hear the words 'Pie Jesu' (which admittedly isn't often) I'm always reminded of  Big Brother where a girl had to sing the song as part of a task.  She had two chances to listen to the song in the diary room but for some reason she never did, and the moment she had to sing came as a surprise (presumably she thought she had more time to prepare), and the song, as you can imagine, was a hilarious disaster. (And she pronounced the title exactly as you expect.)

Steel Magnolias isn't about androids or whatever.

[AsparagusTrevor]

I only just realised that batshit Swedish kids' cartoon Benny Brun, which I remember watching in baffled amazement when my son was a toddler, is from the same guy who did the Paranoid Android video.

The original cartoon that featured the characters from Paranoid Android was called 'Robin', I remember it used to be on Channel 4 late at night.

Depends on your interpretation.  Let's not forget the scene in which Julia Roberts is switched off - not to mention the reference to Sally Field's head being like a football helmet.  Little clues, people.  Little clues.

That'll be Sally 'Electromagnetic' Field.

Steel Magnolias isn't a Jilly Cooper novel.

I don't know if it's common knowledge that Star Trek's Marina Sirtis played the stewardess in the Leonard Rossiter-Joan Collins Cinzano ad on the airplane, but it certainly blew my mind.
