Sumomomomomomomomo, a Japanese racehorse that recently claimed its maiden win, was dubbed "the horse that makes commentators cry" because of its tongue-twister name. The 3-year-old mare claimed victory at Tokyo's Oi racecourse a couple of weeks ago and has since become somewhat of a celebrity on Japanese social media. Its
name, which is based on a Japanese tongue-twister that means "plums and peaches are both peaches," captured people's imagination, and now everyone is rooting for her to win, just so they can hear race commentators struggling to say the horse's difficult name. Sumomomomomomomomo's first victory in 12 races made her already high popularity among Japanese horse racing fans skyrocket. There are now plush toys being sold at the Tokyo race track, and "Sumomochi" desserts have also become popular.
"Men are like waffles because they are better able to compartmentalise. They have little waffle squares which they pour syrupy information into. And each square can contain a different subject. Making it much easier for men to think of one thing and one thing only at a time. Women on the other hand are spaghetti brains. Meaning all of the noodles of information touch each other. So while thinking of work, a woman can be thinking of the errands she has to run and what she'll have for dinner and a myriad of other topics."
