This could get bad. So, apparently poppa didn't make this up all on his own. Neither did "Uncle Roy" for that matter. After 25 years of assuming this little word trickery was thunk up in the feisty grey matter of my ancestors, I discover - on Wikipedia no less - that it was actually just Jerry Flippin Lewis. Worse yet, the Boy Scouts of American use it on camping trips.
I can sense a temper tantrum* coming from beyond the grave. Oh well, we all get a look at the Wiz eventually. Not my fault!
*While I'm at it, I might as well exorcise all our dirty little secrets... Poppa looked remarkably like Saddam Hussein when they pulled him out of that hole. There, I said it.
