Jackie and I collaborated to create "shona".

And what a fine creation!
I only wish you'd decided what sex to make me first.

shona brings to mind that old pop song, "My Sherona".


Exactly my first association! Thought it would be a bit too obscure to mention, though obviously not to my creatrix..

P.S. Song by The Knack, I believe, c. 1978??

here is something I found in an online college slang handbook... pretty funny!


my sherona (adj)

Out of style (more for 80s fashion). Check it out! That is so my sherona! [Northern Illinois University, 1998]

And who brought you here? Don't I at least deserve 'godmother' or 'auntie' status or something?
What am I, chopped liver?

Is "My Sherona" the tune resurrected in the U.S. by a car company for its annoying commercials "My Toyota"?
