In certain circles the term la su'o da ("Someone") has become a well-known phrase.

akmnlrse There's this meme going around here that all the work in Lojbandia is done by some sort of god named Someone since people keep on saying "someone should do this".

Indeed, la su'o da most often appears in sentences beginning with .ei, like this one:

.ei la su'o da ba cikre
"Someone should fix this."

or really anytime someone wishes to exclude themselves from a pool of potentially responsible people; la su'o da carries an undertone of "someone (but not me!) should do this, and I'm just going to wait until it happens" (aka let someone else do the work).
