dad-isms: the johhny hogg edition

We all know what they are. Phrases and words only a dad would use. Some are universal things all dads say, like things about maintenence, things about work. But each Dad also has his own special dad-isms so now without further ado I bring a glossary of my Dad, Johnny Hogg (yeah h-o- double gee)

made-up by him:

lesdykian = butch lesbian, i think he wanted a word than was more than lesbian and less than dyke, and thus lesdykian was born, he's pretty sparing with it and yet to offend anyone so far, i think mainly becasue it's said with love

nice looking young lady= hot woman, used to be jody watley and sade, now also applies to the likes of faith hill and shania twain

teddy-jack-eddie= when i was a kid there was sort of gang of hillbilly youngmen that all hung out at this one house in my neighborhood. they were beer-drinking 20- somethings, good old boys that like to party, had mullets, drove 4X4 trucks up on GIANT tires,i mean giant need-a--ladder-to-get-in tires. My dad called these types of guys "teddy-jack-eddies" because they always have three first names

from the military (i think)

affirmative= self-explanotory, but used by my dad WAY more than average
negatory= see above
rise and shine its a beautiful day = regardless of weather, in fact the worse the weather, the more likely it is to be uttered


I'm sure there are many more, eluding me right now, so perhaps there will be subsequent posts on this.

In the meantime, co-bloggers and readers alike, share your dad-isms. Publish those posts! Leave those comments!


And P.S. my dad has answered the door in his tighty-whities, more than once!
