"Camp Anawanna" This is going to sound weird, but...


When I was younger (and I will admit that there are the odd occasions where I fall back into doing this now) I always used the word "Anawanna" as a kind of substitute word, if I couldn't remember the actual word that was used, or didn't fully hear/understand the word. Basically like just saying "blah, blah, blah" or something. Like if someone told me that they bought a "[Name of Brand] Computer" there was a strong chance I would later say, or at least remember in my mind that, this person bought an "Anawanna Computer". Also, as this usually tended to happen when I was a kid, it didn't even have to be that technical, just a word I didn't hear correctly, or whatever.

I remember this being on when I first got Nickelodeon, I honestly can't remember anything about the actual show, so I don't know if I watched it (I will try to watch some episodes if I can, to jog my memory). Last night, I suddenly remembered that there was a show on Nickelodeon where the characters were singing and one of the lyrics is "And when I think about you, I hope we never part", but someone says "It makes me wanna fart" as a joke, so I googled those lyrics and found a video of the opening for Salute Your Shorts, and it felt good to put my mind at rest as to what show those lyrics came from, but it wasn't until today that it dawned on me that the camp's name (as mentioned in the song) was "Camp Anawanna". I honestly think that this is where I got the word from.

I know this probably sounded strange, but I felt like sharing. :)
