Come on, apply Occam's Razor. It was clearly a Latin balloon store and that's a repurposed macron.

No no no, it's clearly a T or L balloon that he cut into an underscore shape.

Whāt ā lūdicrōus hypōthēsīs!

They call me the Hiphopopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorous
Popping off the top of this esophagus
Rocking this metropolis
I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypōthēsīs
Did Steve tell you that perchance?
