I remember Danger = Peligroso but can't translate any of the other words. I feel Perdido might be the root for Perdition which, in my mind, may mean Lost but at $20,000 I'd not be 100% sure—ATA.

Gonna break my rule of not "playing along" until show airs here, as this is a BB.

5K: ATA

10K: eek. Think it could be Bad Santas, both of which from their promos had, as the Sups once said of something else, "no redeeming social value", but +1

Lol... For whatever reason… Probably subconscious, I totally had this song earworm in my head at work a couple weeks ago and yeah… LOL. And I do like him.... Let's just say it's much different up there then on the couch at home.

I knew it from the Proust title, but also from Perdue; always thought "What a weird name for University, " lost"".

Its probably from someone's name. Now I'll look it up.

No, lookups (can't show on this tablet) say that as a name, Perdue is from "par Dieu", meaning "by G-d".

So I've been wrong all along on that.

French word is from Latin "perdere, to lose".

I would have had to use a lifeline also, except I live near the Rio de las Animas Perdidas -- River of Lost Souls. Officially, it's the Animas River.

Is that where the Río de las Ardillas Perdidas enters?

I don't know if you discovered it while looking things up but the university is Purdue. Named for John Purdue who donated the land for the college. Perdue is the chicken.
