the hell kinda last name is "Sorbo" anyway. it sounds like an industrial surfactant used to dye synthetic underwear fibers.

Sorbo is my favorite star wars character

it sounds like what an ice cream company would call a sorbet or sherbert because it isn't at least 5% fruit juice or whatever so they have to legally call it something else. like how surimi is called "krab" or whatever

To me it sounds like an americanisation of the Norwegian surname Sørbø.

It was pretty common for norwegian migrants, if they had an Ø in their name, to just remove the dash and make it an O.

I've seen yanks named Odegard instead of the proper Ødegård, and ulvoy instead of Ulvøy, etc.

It sounds like one of those diminutive nicknames we give right wing shitheads to make fun of them but it's already his actual name

Sorbo in spanish means sip, so he must be Mr. Sip
