Oh, and Corey, the Mandarin wasn't named for the fruit or the language, it's from the other meaning, a high-ranking official. So the name is a bit Kingpinny.
Regarding the lad who is embarrassed to have his loved ones know he reads comics, honestly, just relax and enjoy. It's perhaps the apparent need for affirmation that's making it feel like a problem - why does the girlfriend have to read them too? Its OK for halves of a couple to have interests the other doesn't get.
Unless GL lore has changed, which it does a lot, the oath was traditionally more of a timing device to get the charge right, than a necessity. The inspirational words are an optional extra.
@undeadpool Hiya Corey, Brits don't tend to pronounce 'cuckoo' with an 'ock' sound, it's just standard 'uh' as in 'huckleberry'.
And given that the Stepford Cuckoos are mini-Emmas rather than the real one, perhaps they don't adopt the British affectation, especially since they're distancing themselves from her at the moment. So your normal sweet tones are fine!
In other news, you finally pronounced Frazer Irving's for name as 'Frazer'- nice one!
