    The story goes that the younger Abrams kid (Marty's little brother) used to say "Me Go!" when someone was leaving the house to indicate that he wanted to go with them.

      Yeah ever since I read that 20 years back I'll never forget.

        I always called it MEG-o, because my only exposure to the word was in print. I thought it was a slangy variation on the word "mega." (I also grew up with Lego, so there was that phonetic influence as well.)

        Now, hanging around the Museum and seeing the subject come up every once in awhile, I've been trying to re-train my brain to say MEE-go, even though it sounds weird to me. The effect of this has been that whenever I see the word Lego now, I mentally pronounce it "LEE-go". Mind like a steel sieve, I tell ya.

        At any rate, it's nice to know I'm not the only MEG-o Head around here.

          And then that younger brother opened up his own company named "U-Stay!"
