Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related Top Banana

Hi there.

I've got another question. I'm wondering how common a term "top banana" is. Would you say it on a daily basis for someone being the leader?

Or could remembering this term refer to a particular person?

As you might suspect I'm referring to *Separate Lives*. If suddenly the term "Top Banana" comes to Clark's mind, how likely is he to consider that strange. Would he think that maybe he must have heard someone say it?

Thanks for helping!

It's a relatively common (although a little old-fashioned) and familiar term in the U.S. Another related phrase would be: 'Top of the totem pole' (Which gets a snicker from anyone who knows anything about totem poles.)

I doubt it's too strange, since it was said in the pilot. I wouldn't say it's a common phrase, but it's definitely well-known.
