Since today is Father's Day, I was reminiscing about my Dad who passed about 30 years ago.
He was a purebred New Englander, named Josiah Hazard Crooker, which is about as New England a name as you can get!
Dad had a lot of funny sayings - sort of like New England Speak. Here are just a few:
(1) Cowabunga - translates to today's OMG! (corny)
(2) He loved to mix words up like George Birthington's Wash Day! (definitely corny)
(3) The one I use all the time now requires a little explanation - when dogs come up to greet each other they always go nose to back end on each other, so Dad's explanation to that was they were simply "Checking License Plates"! I love that one! So descriptive - Checking License Plates!
What dad-isms does or did your dad say?
