I was helping a student find resources for his project on "youth in Asia" and I truly didn't know if he meant euthanasia or teens in China, Japan, Korea, etc. (It didn't help that he didn't know either.)

I always thought "bobwire" was Texan for barbed wire.

Back in the 60s when they mentioned "the [WEB} DuBois Clubs" I always thought they meant "the Boys Clubs."

Euthenasia was definitely another.
