Yeah, "a licky boom boom down" awoke from dormancy in my mind when I read the name. And Jagger? It's just embarrassing. I'll give her credit for consistency though, bc Bronx Mowgli is so ridiculous that I wasn't sure she'd be able to come up with a moniker for this child that encapsulated the same scope of absurdity and cringeworthy-ness. She's outdone herself! The whole wannabe rocker vibe with Rolling Stones reference (Mick's the *only* Jagger, let's be real). Plus, as mentioned, the whole "informer" thing, and let's not forget the veiled cocaine reference, as well as a faint Disney princess flavour, what with Snow White and all. Bonus points for also bringing to mind rural folk in a snowstorm "Big jagg 'er snow we got there now eh, Larry?". A delicate balance indeed.

Listen to Mustn'ts, child, listen to the Don'ts.
Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.
