OK, this one doesn't make me think of any specific Legion Worlder, but does initiate a chain of thoughts that eventually makes me think of LW in general:
The word, "supersede".
A loooooooooong time ago, I read one of the Superboy backup stories that ran during the Legion's Adventure run. In this particular story, young Clark has to pretend to be a bit of a dunce in order to infiltrate and break up a school cheating ring.
One of the examples used to show his ostensible "thickness" was the fact that he couldn't identify spelling errors that the teacher wrote on the board - one of which was "supercede" instead of "supersede". I remember Lana Lang condescendingly saying, "Can't you see the error, Clark?"
The fact of the matter, though, was that I couldn't see the error, either. It made young Ex run off to the dictionary to look it up, and remember the correct spelling from that day forward.
So now - everytime I write "supersede" in a work e-mail... I think of that story... which makes me think of the Legion... which makes me think of Legion World.
(Note: a quick google search reveals to me now that not only is "supercede" an acceptable variant but, in fact, seems more frequently used than "supersede," anyway. In your face, Lana Lang!)

Superboy was totally thinking about Lana and his 'super-seed.'
High school is totally wasted on teenage boys. They're only thinking about one thing.

"Supersede" reminds me of the song "I Before E" from A Boy Named Charlie Brown, which contains the line "Only one word in the language ends in S-E-D-E: Supersede." Anything Peanuts related reminds of my Peanuts Pal, Fanfie.
