Never heard about Wabush; is it a regional thing?

You’re absolutely right on both points, I didn’t remember until you mentioned it! Didn’t know Moukmouk was a real thing, though… The more you know!
In Québec, we say “Saint Clin-Clin Des meuh-meuh”; “Saint”, because a lot of towns here are named after a Saint, “Clin-Clin” because of another expression “ti-clin” which means some random person, so “Clin-Clin” means a random Saint, and “des meuh-meuh” because a lot of towns here have some kind of suffix like “des Saults”, or “de Brandon”, so “des meuh-meuh” (like moo-moo) is the sound a cow makes, and I guess it sounds rural or something. Also, when we talk about somewhere very far away, we say “au diable vert” “at the green devil”; not sure about the origin of this expression, though.
Jelly on top, if you use the same knife for both peanut butter and jelly, you’ll mix jelly with the PB in the jar. I know I don’t want that, but to each his own, I guess. PB doesn’t tend to get into the jelly jar as much, in my experience, but again, to each his own.
Now I’m the one being taken too seriously. I was just saying, I already got the joke and everything. Didn’t mean to bait anyone.
Honestly, I believe you’re taking this even more seriously than I do.
I mean, he could’ve just turned water into wine, just sayin’… And doesn’t wine transubstantiate into His blood, and not vice versa? There’s also a chance that I might be taking all this way too seriously.
I think it’s fairly common to not always pay close attention to the lyrics. Most of the time, you hear a song on the radio, and you can’t always make out what it’s saying, but you’re still able to enjoy the music and the singing melody. Until you pay more attention or you seek out the lyrics, then you’re often surprised about what it’s saying, cause the lyrics weren’t the point when you used to listen to the song. It doesn’t mean that it’s world-changing or anything, but it just takes you by surprise.
Semi-Charmed Life, by Third Eye Blind. Basically, it’s a song about doing meth… Spent almost twenty years just singing the chorus with absolutely no idea what the rest of the lyrics were. Now, it kinda feels weird, ngl.





As @CryptoKitten@sh.itjust.works pointed out, the origin of the expression is “au Diable Vauvert”, or “at the Vauvert Devil”. I just read about it, and Vauvert is a castle in France, reputed in the Middle Ages to be the home of the Devil, for one reason or another. It just means “somewhere very far away”.
