Does anyone know why? Was the director sending a subliminal message? Is it a common high-school thing being satirised? It just struck me as odd. Thanks. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.57568 Fri, 23 Feb 2007 18:04:04 -0800 3:16 diesel film God john pacifier Hermit http://ask.metafilter.com/53817/Why%2Ddo%2DI%2Dcall%2Da%2Dpacifier%2Da%2Dgoots Anybody else grow up calling a pacifier, a "goots"? I'm not sure if I'm spelling it correctly, but that's how it sounds (rhymes with boots). I'm not Jewish, but that word sounds Yiddish to me. Now I've got a kid of my own, and everybody thinks I'm crazy because I call it a goots. Is it a name brand? West Michigan Polish/Italian slang? Or what? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.53817 Tue, 26 Dec 2006 11:58:01 -0800 babies pacifier elvissinatra http://ask.metafilter.com/35724/baby%2Ddummy%2Dquestion BabyFilter: Are there any theoretical or actual risks or issues associated with using a(n orthodontically correct) baby's dummy (pacifier)? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.35724 Tue, 04 Apr 2006 17:45:04 -0800 baby dummy infant pacifier wilful http://ask.metafilter.com/16018/Vin%2DDiesels%2Dshoes%2Din%2DPacifier Does anyone know what shoes Vin Diesel is wearing in "Pacifier"?
