Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Come thou fount nettleton

👉 Certainly! "Come Thou Fount Nettleton" is a slang expression used to describe someone who has gained a lot of fame overnight and now wishes they were like their name—famous but not as famous. It's often used jokingly, as in the example sentence:

"Hey, I got an idea for a new movie. Just gotta find some famous nettletons to star and work with." This expression can be taken literally or figuratively—it can refer to anyone who is a big name but not so widely known. It's a fun way to tease someone who has achieved the same level of recognition as someone else, like "nettle" could refer to "name," while "fortnight" might be an actual term for a day in the life of a famous person.
