bake our heads into it no slang meaning Explanation: At least I've never heard it. Nor do I think this is a UK/US thing :) A literal joke that has kind of a double meaning: 1) brings up an image of them sticking their heads into the oven to get the cheese. 2) the whole teenage suicide stereotype |

bake our heads into it to make them into "cheeseheads" Explanation: The word "cheesehead" - amongst other things - is a slang for a 1. sentimental, dramatic person, 2. a fool, 3. someone who does Ecstasy, 4. and it is also used as a nickname for somebody from Wisconsin. The story of that is explained here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheesehead Whichever of the explanations they relate to, I think the joke is based on the expression "cheesehead". |
