Echolalia.

So THAT'S why I've had a refrain from Glenn Miller's Pennsylvania 6-5000 stuck in my brain for the last 40-odd years. :blob_laughing:

@Claydisarray @actuallyautistic OMG. I didn't know the name for that swing but... how many here remembers/knows it's actually how phone numbers used to be pronounced?
It's said the phone number PE-6-5000 (we'd now say 212-736-5000) is disconnected now, but the tower to be built at the address of the old Penn Hotel, wants to leep that same phone number... 😂

@pa @actuallyautistic Ah, that's interesting. I'm from the UK so had no idea it was dialling code related. I assumed it was something to do with train services 😆
