I was just looking at some info for the sitcom 'Ideal', starring the fat northern bastard Johnny Vegas, and was amazed at the words that were highlighted for links to other Wiki pages, included in case you weren't aware of their meaning...

What was the thought process involved to highlight these specific words? Ok, 'mam' might need explaining to someone with limited imagination, but why not 'snogs' or 'flog'? And who doesn't know what a hand, a sandwich or chocolate is? Chocolate is a pretty much universal word - so it can't be that the author was thinking of our foreign friends who might happen to be looking up info on a sitcom in which the language is hardly even accessible by anyone who doesn't understand Northern English drug-dealer speak!

I could probably find something more worthwhile to have a rant-on about, but CHOCOLATE?! I'm off to shoot me a wiki-frickin-pedian!

Laughing Maybe they link to chocolate and sandwich for the history of it? But I still can't figure out hand.

Maybe it's someone's bizarre sense of humour just so that people will go "eh?"
