Catchphrase!

1. '....for sure'.   
2. '...super fast.'
These are phrases (they're probably not phrases, but I don't know what they are, more like adphrases which is a word I just made up) that are tacked onto sentences if you are 1. any person involved with formula 1 and 2. any person involved in pro cycling.
What's interesting is that even new people into the sport soon get dragged into using these same words as if it actually means something, for sure.

I haven't noticed any other sport with this type of language, although footballers tend to start with 'as I was saying..' when that would only make sense if you were the same person they said it to originally.  I assume this is to do with most footballers' intellect is not that high up the scale although I now there are exceptions...  as I was saying.

Whatshisname.

Beyoncé and her spouse (Jay-Z) have allegedly copyrighted their new twins' names - Rumi and Sir.
Very odd, and sums up the strange world that celebrities inhabit, removed from real life and perpetuating the belief that their world is different, remote and downright weird.

I wonder if I can copyright Rebecca, Sophie and Felicity?  ..and if I did, what would it get me?  Do I get exclusive rights on the name?  Do others have to pay me royalties for using it?  Hmm, suddenly it's sounding like quite a good idea.
