I don't understand why this has been in my head for almost 30 years.

I love when something random pops into my head from 30 years ago like Tom Hanks saying "Sibilance" and then I can instantly see it on here.

All these years I thought it was "Syphilis".

After all these years I still say this almost daily. If people would just respond or pay attention I wouldn’t have to keep mic checking them.

Party on.

There are still so many people who don't know the meaning of Sibilance. The term sibilance is used to describe a phoneme, such as an /s/ or /sh/, sounded with a hissing sound. This lends intensity to its sound, and can be used to draw attention, such as in the commonly used "shhhh!", conveying a desire for another to be quiet.
