==Explanation==
This is the sixth comic in the [[:Category:My Hobby|My Hobby series]]. His "hobby" in this one is deliberately mispronouncing words while talking. Hobbies in the ''My Hobby'' series are generally annoying or weird, but with an element of cleverness. Here, [[Cueball]] persists in mispronouncing his words despite the second character's attempt to correct him. Interestingly, when Randall started the xkcd blog in October 2006, 6 weeks after the publication of this comic, he named it "[[Blag]]". He has used that name in several other comics, such as [[181: Interblag]] and [[239: Blagofaire]]. Today, if someone visits https://blag.xkcd.com they get redirected to blog.xkcd.com, but the slogan at the top still says "xkcd - The blag of the webcomic".

In the title text, [[Randall]] explains that he got the idea for this comic from one of his friends, although it could just be his friend's accent.
