Added example(s): "K 2 LU" by Metallica

Added DiffLines:

* Music/{{Metallica}}: There was a deluxe edition of ''Music/DeathMagnetic'' that included a bonus disc titled ''Demo Magnetic''. This bonus disc contains demo versions of all of the songs from that album, with different titles (i.e. [[{{WorkingTitle}} Working Titles]]). The title that the demo version of "Suicide & Redemption" (a long instrumental) goes by is "[=K2LU=]", which is both an example of this trope as well as a CallBack to that other long instrumental from 24 years earlier, "The Call of Ktulu"... i.e. it could be interpreted as meaning "The Call of Ktulu 2".

* Belgian channel [[UsefulNotes/FlemishTVStations 2BE]] is this as well. Dependable on how you translate its either the common word "To be" or stands for "Two Belgium". The reason why it could be called "Two Belgium" is that it was the second tv channel that ''Medialaan'' ever owned.

* The second season of ''Manga/RosarioPlusVampire'' is titled ''Rosario + Vampire [=Capu2=]'', a play on the onomatopoeia "kapuchuu~" ("two" in Japanese sounds like "chuu").

* ''ComicBook/Superboy1949'': In #131, Superboy needs to remove Luthor's fifth dimensional powers (siphoned off of Mr. Mxyzptlk), so he tricks Lex into saying his name backwards by baiting him into cracking a numerical code: "18-15-8-20-21-12 24-5-12", meaning "R-O-H-T-U-L X-E-L".
-->'''Superboy:''' ''"You decoded the numbers the computer said would take away your magic! Those were the numbers in the "code message" I gave you! R is the 18th letter of the alphabet, O is the 15th, H the 8th...When you read those digits, you said your name backwards...in numbers!"''



** Was it supposed to be anything other than We Three? '''Wee'''?

* In UsefulNotes/CollegiateAmericanFootball, the Big Ten conference adopted a logo that's ostensibly supposed to read "B10", but the zero is represented by a G, so that ''really'' looks like "big" with a 1 in place of the I. As a result, fans informally call the conference "[=B1G=]".

** [[ArachnidAppearanceAndAttire Vriska]] uses 8 to replace both B and words or parts of words that sound like "ate" or "eight". This is due to her obsession with [[AnimalMotifs spiders]] and [[NumerologicalMotif the number 8]]. When she gets [[VerbalTicked worked up]], she starts [[{{Angrish}} replacing many of her vowels with 8's regardless of the sound they make]]. Aranea, Vriska's pre-Scratch counterpart, uses a similar quirk, but in a much more subdued fashion: most of the time she uses 8 only to replace B, and when she's upset she replaces the sound "ate" with 8, but only where it's phonologically appropriate.
