All right for a meme, but if you come to me, in person, and pronounce it [Boo-leen], I will hit you.

How to avoid being hit in your presence then?

The man was called Boole (/buːl/; [BOOL]), so the value is a Boole-an (/'buːliən/; [BOOL-eeən]), as in Newtonian.

In Luigi's Mansion 2, there is a boo who speaks in binary called Boolean... At least, in the British release. In the US localisation, its name is "Combooter" which is a far less satisfying pun.

lol i was about to say that too. i think its dialog was: "Am I Boolean? True or false."
