  • ruzuzu In Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, there's a bit about how all tapes left in a car for too long eventually morph into Best of Queen albums. Then one of the characters--probably the demon Crowley, who is fond of his earthly life and is secretly helping to thwart his boss's plans by preventing the apocalypse--gets rattled when he hears "Bee-elzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me..." coming from his car stereo.

  • hernesheir A character in the Mummers' plays fo England who carries a club and a frying pan.

    Here comes I, Beelzebub.
    In my hand I carries a club,
    Over my shoulder a frying pan.
    Don't you think I'm a jolly old man

  • seanahan Very interesting etmyology on this one. From Hebrew "ba‘al zəbûb", meaning "lord of the flies", a Philistine deity. Puts a whole new spin on that book. Answers has some more information on the etymology, including the possibility the Zebub was actually a place, and not a thing. Mar 15, 2008

  • reesetee This is true. Consider any context in which you might find occasion to use this word. Already, you're in weirdness. Feb 19, 2007

  • chained_bear Me too. But I've heard some people say "BEEL zee bub," and thought it was weird. Then again, any time you say this word, it's already kind of weird. Feb 19, 2007

  • seanahan I always thought it would be pronounced "be-al-zuh-bub", although I don't think I've every said it. I would probably default to Freddie Mercury's pronunciation. Feb 18, 2007

  • sionnach bee-ell-zee-bub Feb 18, 2007

  • reesetee Bee-ELL-zih-bub for me. Feb 16, 2007

  • chained_bear So out of curiosity, how many people pronounce this word "bee-ell-zee-bub" vs. "beel-zee-bub"? Feb 16, 2007
