actually Ackshyully, Wario and Waluigi both follow the same naming scheme: portmanteaus of {悪|わる}い warui 'bad' + Mario/Luigi. The upside-down M is just a happy coincidence. The problem is that these are just about the only names in the universe you can make good warui-portmanteaus out of.

I have been owned. Utterly and completely. However using Adam Connover implies all of this could just be some bullshit you made up.

Hence my admission of ownage. I expect Erika3sis knows what she's talking about, she's hexbear's premiere language nerd (positive) as far as I'm concerned. I'm just commenting on Adam Connover.
