How come when I heard the word ‘school’ followed by the word ‘exploded’ I immediately thought of the word SKINNER!?

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker pretends to puzzle over a mental habit: hearing that a school exploded, one name leaps straight to mind. The question is mock-innocent, pointing a finger at a particular person while feigning surprise at their own reflex.
