I like the sound, and the history.

But the name is really unfortunate, given a particular English slang word's identical pronunciation.

[bombcar → bovermyer]

Look up the (possible) etymology for Jazz for a similar scenario.

[Navarr → bombcar]

Or the name of the Star Wars genre of music played in the Cantina in IV

Spouge is a genre of pop music that emerged in the 60's and 70's but which died away relatively quickly. It is enjoying a resurgence.

"[Jackie Opel] joined forces with the Troubadours, the house band of the Clyde B Jones funeral parlour." There's potential for at least one more newspaper feature, or streaming series, with this backstory.

I had the pleasure of working with John Spouge. Very nice guy with a superhuman ability to solve differential equations. Really astounding.

What does this have to do with the link?

[JackFr → CyberDildonics]

The word “spouge” is in both “Let’s Spouge” and “Spouge’s Approximation”.

[CyberDildonics → JackFr]

The link is about music, it has nothing to do with what you linked just because they share a word that jogged your memory.
