  the vowels are different etc, but the tweet sets it up like it’s supposed to sound a li’l bit like “tossed salad and scrambled eggs”, which is part of the frasier theme tune.

    Ah, okay that kinda makes sense. I wouldn't read it like that but I see what you mean.

    TY, bc I wasn’t getting it either. My brain someone read “Töskaläd” like “tossed salad”, which then somehow went to The Wiggles “Fruit Salad.”

    I think my brain needs some tranqs…

    Oooohhh I was getting mixed up with the Johnny Cash track “I hear the train a comin”.

    I don’t know what Frasier is though, we don’t have that here in the UK.

    Now if you’ll excuse me I need to pull my Cash LPs out suddenly and do nothing for the next hour

      Fraiser showed at prime time in the UK during the 90s and at weekend afternoons in the 00s.

        Sounds like something 9 year old me wouldn’t have watched!

  It’s a Frasier reference, listen to the intro of the show. The bext line should be tossed salad and scrambled eggs, just similar enough to the chair name to have made someone want to make the meme.

    But it's a fake name

      That is true. This meme is a phony. Why are we laughing at things that aren’t demonstrably true, everyone?

      Are we so sure that a chicken even crossed the road?
