Abracadabra. I Create as I Speak.
from The Matt J Hanham Show Hosted by Matt J Hanham
Abracadabra. One popular reading of where it comes from is Aramaic, and it roughly means: I create as I speak. The origin is argued about, and I don't really mind, because the idea is right.

Over to you: what's the line you're going to start saying from today?
