Terms of Endearment?

[Medusa]

I forgot one. Whenever I leave the house, I yell "Ok, gang, Mommy's leaving. (and I tell them where I'm going), I won't be late. Everybody be good. Puddy, watch the house for Mommy!" If I'm taking Puddy to the vet, then I yell "Boo, watch the house until Puddy comes home!"

Thanx for reminding me how weird I am.

I believe I got the term "turd burglar" from Beavis and Butthead years ago, along with "fartknocker", which they get called. They are sometimes referred to as farty fart-boys or fart blossoms (even though they are not flatulent at all), and Sammy in particular is called Turd Ferguson fairly often (from that Jeopardy sketch on SNL).

LOL,

Fartknocker has been around for ages!

But TB, Ihadn't heard that one!

I forgot one that I use for my friends and cats.

"Hey, YOU!"

If they pick up the phone, they immediately know who it is!

The other one is, "Jimmee get on..."

Jimme get on began life as "let me get on..."
Which was the way people would ask for things at a store or eatery in the poorer areas of town-Hey, I could have said economically depressed, eh?

A person would approach the counter and tell the clerk, "Let me get on a package of Marlboro Red cigarettes!"

A neighborhood kid was making fun at the rudeness of the request and would say, "Jimmeee get on your bike" or "Jimmeee get on a nickel, I need one to get an ice cream"


So, years later, I tell the Edster, "Jimmeeee get on my recliner, move your arse!'



It don't always work
