My Dad's Vocabulary

Talking to my dad can be very humorous and a bit confusing at the same time.

He has an interesting vocabulary. I have lived with him long enough to know basically what he means most of the time.

I am constantly amazed at the different ways he can mutilate pronounce words.:)

I'll give you a few examples.

He enjoys eating at an "All You Can Eat Buff-it". (Buffet)

Neososporin is what he uses on cuts. (Neosporin)

He takes Acetamenicen for a headache. (Acetaminophen)

My brother's friend is named Stye. (Cy short for Cyrus)

He likes to make spaghetti using ground beeth. (Beef)

He doesn't like his car to get to close to the medium on the road. (Median)

One of his favorite types of fish to eat is Falapia. (Tilapia)

The Food & Drug Administration he refers to as the FAA. (FDA)

He likes to fry chicken using granola oil. (Canola)

His favorite flavors of ice-cream are Metropolitan and Napoleon. (Both meaning Neapolitan)

He doesn't understand the "Theory of Revolution." (Evolution)

And just the other day he told me how much mom enjoyed reading my blob.(Blog)

There are many more, but you get the point. He's so funny. If we try to correct him he just says, "Same thing," or "You know what I mean!" :)

His mangled vocabulary reminds me a lot of Archie Bunker.



Here are a few Archie words and sayings that make me laugh out loud.:)

Like the Good Book says: "Let him who is without sin be the rolling stone."

The story of Noah and the whale.

Infernal Revenue.

Show me where to put my John Hancrock.

Engelbert Whats-his-dink.

Count of Monte Crisco.

Ain't ya never heard of Medicure?

What do I look like, an inferior decorator?

(Did she) RSBVD ya?

Salivation Army.

A woman doctor is only good for women's problems...like your groinocology.

Groinocologist.



I love you, Daddy!:)
