My camp coffee qualifies as both a beverage AND a meal!  ![[Linked Image]](https://lh3.ggpht.com/_1agIu9nO4DI/SjfmKfeCJEI/AAAAAAAAAQM/HBskklKpUIM/DSCN0182.JPG)

So, what does the pot of fudge have to do with anything?

My camp coffee qualifies as both a beverage AND a meal! That just looks wrong on so many levels. I like strong coffee but I'd have to really be in need of caffine to drink that sludge.

Charlie it out - Was one we used in the Navy. Army Signal Intel Analysts are/were 98C or 98 Charlies. (IIRC)
So when someone was stumped we said "Charlie it out - dumbass"

"I took a baseball bat and mommicked her car". Hmm. Interesting. Any idea of the history? A linguist, so he claimed, said the only use he could find was in a play by Shakespear. It was "Mommick a string". Gee, worry a string, a knot, beads, etc. Haven't you mommicked the life out of me this day!

Your list brings back fond memories of my College years. Interesting things happened at Father's Too when it was "turned over" each spring from the College kids to the Townies...exiting times.
One I did not hear to often that one of my College room mates from Chelmsford used was "bubbler".
Chris
Glad to hear it Chris, and small world. I used to drink at Father's as well, but always forget which was which, as I'm sure you know, there were 4 of them: Father's, Father's Too, Father's Three and Father's Four. The ones I used to frequent were the one in Allston, on Harvard Ave., near Brighton Ave., and the one on Comm. Ave near Fenway just before the pike bridge. Proper dives/buckets of blood they are were. Pint and three fingered shot of whiskey for 4 bucks back in the day. Good times, and yes, the townie/college kid interactions could be quite comical at times.  And yes, bubbler. Water cooler or drinking fountain, for those perplexed by this oddity. The Father's I frequented was IIRC on Beacon just outside Kenmore Square. Very convenient, as it was within crawling distance of the apartments were I lived (Park Drive-Sophmore year, and Buswell Street (Junior and Senior years). 10 Cent Dirty-Water Dogs on Sundays fit my budget.

I know it well. A popular spot on Marathon day, that one. A buddy of mine back in the day came out of that Father's a mess, tripped on his own feet and broke the plate glass window of the bicycle shop with his face, one block up Beacon going away from Kenmore. And yes on the dirty water dogs. Not bad for a dime.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

Some distinctly Utah ones:
Mo-Mo: a Mormon, used by a non-Mormon, derogatory.
Plig: a polygamist. See above.
Oh my heck: Nearly universal phrase replacing anything remotely resembling a four letter word.
Baja Idaho: any part of Utah north of Salt Lake City. News agencies routinely ignore anything that happens north of SLC - unless it's a crime.
Happy Valley: the area around Provo and Orem, with BYU at its epicenter, zone of vapid Snow White types who believe no evil exists if you just ignore it or ban it.
Church discount: The belief that you ought to be given a 10% discount on everything you buy because you (supposedly) give 10% of your income to the Church.
Three-Two: The strongest beer you can buy in Utah without going to a state-run liquor store, where anything more potent has to have a neon sticker saying "Strong Beer."
Coffee: An undrinkable slush brewed by people who have never tasted actual coffee and haven't the faintest clue how to brew it. Scary, I knew 'em all without definitions. Local favorite, "Overhomer" the obnoxious out-of-state hunter who's happy to line you out on where he'll be and where you won't.

My experience, Plig is used mostly by mainstream LDS folks. I do like to hear "My Heck" though, it always makes me smile. Also hear "Good heck!" once in a while.
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....
