He also has ocassionally struggled to correctly pronounce the names of foreign dignitaries, like Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. That was “Joe” Trudeau to Spicer. And then there was Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who became Malcolm “Trumbull” in the press secretary’s parlance. While [Melissa McCarthy’s _Saturday Night Live_](http://time.com/4669781/saturday-night-live-sean-spicer-melissa-mccarthy-supercut/) remains the most complete parody of Spicer to date, a [handy online word generator](http://www.smh.com.au/world/spicerize-my-name-how-white-house-press-secretary-sean-spicer-would-say-your-name-20170216-gue6bh.html?utm%5Fsource=twitter&utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fcampaign=nc&eid=socialn%3Atwi-13omn1677-edtrl-other%3Annn-17%2F02%2F2014-edtrs%5Fsocialshare-all-nnn-nnn-vars-o%26sa%3DD%26usg%3DALhdy28zsr6qiq) on the _Sydney Morning Herald_ site is now here to provide all of us with the “Spicer-ized” versions of our own names. The word engine asks you to type in your name, and then will spit out a new, unexpected version, rather in the style of John Travolta’s [Idina Menzel to Adele Dazeem](http://time.com/12572/john-travolta-apologizes-for-butchering-idina-menzels-name-at-the-oscars/?iid=sr-link2) gaffe at the 2014 Academy Awards.
