Archie Bunker-isms

#1 Postby coriolis » Sun Apr 08, 2007 8:18 pm

Anyone who remembers All In the Family will remember how Archie Bunker would mix up his words and use a word that sounded like the intended word.

I remember an episode when he was talking about a young hippie couple going into their bedroom to do their thing. He said that they were going in there and "burning incest"

Maybe not the best example. But it was funny because hippies burned incense, but you knew he really meant that they were going to go have sex (and undoubtedly be burning incense too)

Another one is that when Edith began showing menopausal symptoms, she visited the "groinocologist."

My wife is convinced that Alzheimers disease is called "old timers disease."

Today I heard another one about the Heimlich Maneuver. Someone called it the "Heimlich Remover"

Perfect!

Any one else have any other word plays to offer?
