I think that was a reference to the movie The Three Amigos. The characters misunderstanding the word sent them off on their unintentionally heroic adventure.

Ahh.

I had actually wondered if it could also just mean "famous" (but not necessarily in a bad way) like notorious can but apparently not. I had to look it up to be sure.

Maybe you're thinking of "inflammable," which due to confusion has mostly been shortened to "flammable."

Well at least SOMEONE got the reference!
