/!! Just this instant got that the band name Spacehog had two meanings. I never got thought of the one about hitting space./What does this mean? And, for that matter, this:/the twitter name "emily post-punk" (i thought it was just an emily who liked post-punk)/

Oh many xps. First of all, my post contains an inexplicable typo. Should read !! Just this instant got that the band name Spacehog had two meanings. I never thought of the one about something hogging a lot of space.
The only meaning I thought before was a hog from outer space.
