Who owns it?


A pal and i were thinking ages ago about the term 'The' and how it can make something or someone own that name or thing.

For example, 'The Lord' can only be given to one man, Jesus. He is 'The Lord'

'The Book' can only mean one book, The Bible, so, The Bible owns the term 'The Book'.

'The Minoque' should only mean Kylie, but i am sure Danni would have a few words to say.

I only want to know The Definitives.

'The Daniels' could mean Paul or Helen or perhaps even Phil.

'The Forsyth' could be Bruce or Frederick.

However, 'The Potter' would only belong to Harry, Dennis would not stand a chance.

Have a go, its great fun.

'The One and Only' can only be one person. Not sure who though.

'The The' could only be the great band from the early 80's
