“JELL-O is JELL-O and not creme brulee…”
- Julia Roberts, My Bestfriend’s Wedding
When my best friend’s kid Canadian cousin heard that my name’s Jello, he laughed really hard and, grinning, he asked, “Why is your name ‘Jello’?”. Well it wasn’t the first time.
My father named me after a punk rock band’s vocalist, Dead Kennedy’s Jello Biafra (Eric Reed Boucher is his real name). I heard that he’s an intelligent man; ran for both mayor and president in San Francisco; was involved in political activism and supports leftist political causes. Biafra (or Boucher in real life) created his stage name as an ironic combination of the brand name JELL-O, a nutritionally delicious treat, and Biafra, a short lived country which apparently failed to secede from Nigeria in 1966, a country of horrific mass starvation. “Jello Biafra,” says Urban Dictionary, “is now the sexiest 46-year old ever to live.” Hehe…
I visited urbandictionary.com and scoured for some meanings to my name. Here are what I found which really amused me.
1. Jello – the sexiest food alive. Yum… Jello…
2. Jello – mediocre sex. Sex is like Jello. When it’s good, it’s really good. But when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.
3. Jello – short hand for jealous; to be jealous without reason.
4. Jello – ass, usually that of a female booty. Make it wiggle like Jello – the Pack!
5. Jello – a person who is known to break girls hearts and do it continuously; also known for cheating on girlfriend with girlfriends bestfriend!
6. Jello – (i love this one! Haha!) hot, attractive, good looking male, boyfriend, husband, etc.
7. Jello – (here’s another one!) a word standing for totally sweet, awesome, nasty, hot, super, etc.
8. Jello – a woman’s breast. Check out the jello on that chick.
I have no idea why most of the matches have something to do with sex. I’m not so sure but I guess all the Jello’s in the world are sexual. Haha…
