It seems very likely, doesn´t it? One of the best things they ever had on the internet (in my opinion) was something called the Jargonizer. It would translate English into the "speakalike" of Jar Jar Binks. And it would render, Hope for the best, prepare for the worst as "Hope for the okiday, prepare for the bombad." Good advice I think.
Someone posted this on another site (talking about Obama, in commentary on a thread about how our current disaster would be rated by historians in 20 years): "..everyone should avoid crowds and large gatherings for the next year until after the next attacks...just to be safe."
If everyone "avoided crowds" there would be no crowds, right?
