I have never heard this, but it makes no sense at all.


It is gratifying to know thta I was not the only one who thought this way.


I was in about fourth grade when I read it aloud as "robo" whereupon our teacher corrected me with utter certainty. But I when looked it up in the appendix of the very schoolbook in which the phrase was used--I think it was on geography--much to her surprise it was indeed given as "robo"
