      Jessica from Dune encourages her son Paul to use “the voice” which is some future space wizardry that allows him to control others.

      In this case, the voice that Americans (probably mostly millennials) think of when someone says “my wife” is the voice of Borat, who develops an obsession with Pamela Anderson from a Baywatch poster and refers to her as his wife.

        Unless someone watched Borat or recognizes some Dune character (I haven’t & don’t), this context is shit, so I can’t?
