"Rodger", as pronounced by Pontius Pilate (played by Michael Palin) in Monty Python's 'Life of Brian'. Caesar has a speech impediment, and can't pronounce the letter 'R'. He tries to placate an unruly mob ("wowdy gwoup of wabble-waisers") outside his palace by releasing a prisoner. When he asks who they would like released, a smart-aleck in the crowd starts shouting out names starting with 'R' - Rodger, Roderick, etc. The scene is one of Monty Python's classics, and one of Michael Palin's most memorable roles. Graffiti demanding the release of some cause celebre (Mumia Abu-Jamal etc.) is often 'corrected' to demand the release of "Wodja!"
