When I first saw this on Saturday Night Live I was amused, but of course understood that it was an obvious exaggeration of reality. You know...to make us laugh:
(Aside: I have actually taken to calling Meredith "Beleth" because it is my personal favorite creative spelling of her name by Starbucks employees. I enjoy this so much that I have changed her contact info in my e-mail address book and on my phone so that her name is always displayed as "Beleth" when we're chatting.)
It's fun to be my friend.
But don't get me wrong...there have been many other strong contenders:
 |
| "Maratif" and "Maratith" - at least these were in the same ballpark -- very, very close to "Meredith." Grade: B- |
 |
| "Medridith"? For inserting a D where it does not belong, I'm inserting a D into your grade - Grade: D |
 |
| "Martle"? Martle? Seriously....Martle? Not only does this sound nothing like "Meredith" it also does not even share the same number of syllables. Thanks, Obama! - Grade: F- |
 |
| While this shows an appalling lack of effort -- it is also deftly avoids an egregious misspelling - so for that we'll award - Grade: C |
 |
| Does that say "Malurey"? I don't even care anymore. Grade: frowny face emoticon |
Beleth's Friend,
Brutalism
