I was reminded of this after my phone autocorrected "honestly" into Throckmorton.

- First off: Nice username 😎
  
  Secondly: Is that an actual episode or is that an edit? It's the Simpsons so it's hard to tell 😅
  
  Thanks.
  
  And it's an edit from s8e23 "Homer's Enemy" about Frank Grimes, or "Grimey"
Extra funny bc of Throckmorton’s sign which is a penis joke in radiology.
Yo Throck, you down to hit the frictionless ramp this afternoon?
- Hell yeah bro let me just grab my mobius board and we can shred for infinity!
  
  Ouch I hit my Throckyticles
TIL about the Throckmorton plot

I'd really love to see the complete text lol
- Not me actually learning history after making a shitpost.
  
  tldr: His given name was Francis, though I like Throckmorton (*edit: better) as that....
Had never heard of this meme, assumed it was a different humorous Throckmorton reference - which is essentially a medical dick joke that grew into a meme including multiple published meme studies in medical journals

What's the deal with phones auto-correcting to unusual proper nouns? Why is that even an option, if it's literally a word I've never typed/swiped?
- I blame it on modem algorithms/"ai" crap.
  
  I noticed like 5 years ago that my phone started switching words I use all the time and it just kept getting worse to the point I have to spell out the word crap.
  
  And in the last year or two mine has started to randomly capitalize words that absolutely don't need it.
But he wasn't a throck.

He was a Throck morton.

- Is that like the Peter-tingle?
Clearly from an English textbook. Tis a common name around our way. Just doing a bit of skateboarding before receiving a hamper from a rich land-owning uncle, before setting off to colonise a small country and borrowing some sacred artefacts for a few hundred years.
- Nice ancient precious artwork! Glad i discovered it!
Throckausaurus is a total legend of the frictionless ramps 🤟😝
Hey, waddup big T? Ready to hit them halfpipes?
Pft Throck’s real friends call him The Throckmeister.
