I've noticed a trend with trans women picking the stupidest names, and idk why. Like I kinda get Mildred because it's a classic name and has a cute nickname. So it stands to reason maybe she has a family member that was a huge influence on her so she wants to honor her with that name but why the fuck do people pick names like Lola.

So her lips can taste like cherry cola.

Is that a reference to something I am too old to understand?

Lola by The Kinks in 1970,

The song details a romantic encounter in a SOHO bar between a young man and the eponymous Lola, who is possibly a trans woman or cross-dresser.

one of the lyrics references her cola tasting lips

Holy crap how did I never know that! That is by far and away my favorite scene in futurama. Thank you for showing me this it gives me a whole new appreciation for this joke. Tbh, I assumed it was just a joke on all the Shatner spoken word versions of songs.

My great grandmothers were: Lola, Layla, Eula, Lulua. For real. They were born around 1900.

We have a cat named Lulu.

One of your great-grandmothers got Clapton on his knees.

I believe that is but I could be wrong as there are some crazy nick names out there like Peggy for Margaret.

That's exactly why I asked
