This revelation is harmless:

My neighbors generally don't speak English as a first language, most
being Asian of some kind. The first line of the hako sot song is:

Save your dixie cups
'cause we're gonna play hako sot!
bump bump...

Well, my nieghbors may have used paper or styro
cups, but were unaware that they were ever called
dixie cups. So they didn't understand that line, but
to them, with a passing familiarity with christianity, heard

"Savior somethingsomething
'cause we're gonna [pray] somethingsomething!
bump bump...

{8^D So at the last block party they were asking
who was this Savior something that we were gonna
pray to. I nearly wet my pants laughing at that. spike
