    For semen, I assume..
    But I don't look at the name as an euphemism..
    The worst enemies of music? Money and Mathematics. Combined with music, they both do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to do. Money makes music cheap, mathematics makes it stupid and predictable.

    Man... you can make a trashy MadLibs story, simply by stringing all their song titles along a story!!

    After he took the elderly woman behind the counter, Jeremy prepared to release his pearl jam with its evenflow into the black circle. She cried "why go" as she took off the leash and saw blood. "Come back" she shouted as he dressed. He said my love is not for you and told her to find a better man. He put on his corduroy pants and left. Sometimes he would smile when he thought about the elderly woman behind the counter, but he knew he'd never remain faithful to her.

    Jeremy headed back to the army reserve and 36 hours later, he was gone. He got a severed hand when everyone's parachutes opened prematurely, colliding them into a big wave of enemy fighters. When returning to the states, he asked an employer for an inside job because of his injury, but they determined he was unemployable. But Jeremy was better off than the elderly woman behind the counter, for she had become comatose. He returned to see her and told her "you are not yet a ghost yet because I'll save you".

    Help help the nurse shouted, finding Jeremy giving the elderly woman behind the counter one last kiss. Later, when parting ways, Jeremy's rival filed a grievance against his last kiss.

  • Well I doubt it's what they meant when they named the band that...
    In an early promotional interview, Vedder said that the name "Pearl Jam" was a reference to his great-grandmother Pearl, who was married to a Native American and had a special recipe for peyote-laced jam.[13] In a 2006 Rolling Stone cover story however, Vedder admitted that this story was "total bullshit" (even though he indeed had a great-grandma named Pearl). Ament and McCready explained that Ament came up with "pearl", and that the band later settled on "Pearl Jam" after attending a concert by Neil Young, in which he stretched up his songs as improvisations of 15-20 minutes in length, a practice known as jamming.
