[Opinions] Re: Misirlou
I wonder if it really does mean Egyptian lady.
It looks too much like miserable and miserly, or even "mi sirloin."Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Yeah, that "Misir" part is what gives me pause, with the similarity to miser and misery. It's a good name for a fictional witch, maybe.
