When Adam and Josh were children, they'd often accompany their mother when food shopping. Near the entrance of the supermarket, there were multiple electronic lottery ticket machines. One in particular played audio instructions alternating between English and Spanish. The Spanish instructions started with the words "Por favor..." Between the machine's poor audio quality and Adam and Josh not knowing any Spanish, to them, the phrase sounded more like "Bada Ben Guada...", and they would constantly repeat it along with the machine when in its presence. The fact that they said the phrase with a mildly stereotypical Spanish accent caused their mother to discourage them from saying it.
In typical fashion, over time Adam and Josh altered the phrase further, making it "Bada it's Ben's snot-a...". They used this version less often in public, however.
When writing this entry, Adam and Josh realized they had never actually written the phrase down before and therefore were unsure whether to use "Guada" or "Gwada", eventually settling on the former spelling.
