Eat the beak! Come *heeeere*, Macaw!! (<em>haaup!<\/em>).&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>K Dak-oh-Dahs<\/strong>: Okay, this one is a little complicated. \u00a0Finn used to pronounce &#8220;Cock-a-doodle-doo&#8221; as &#8220;Dak-oh-Dah!&#8221;&#8211;which, when you think about it, is probably closer to what a rooster actually says.\u00a0\u00a0Anyway, due to the rooster on the package, Corn Flakes became &#8220;Dak-oh-Dahs.&#8221; \u00a0Thus Finn dubbed Mom-O&#8217;s box of Special K &#8220;K Dak-oh-Dahs.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Plutocrat<\/strong>: <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Fat_Controller\">Sir Topham Hatt<\/a>, or alternately Finny (&#8220;That a plutocrat right there!&#8221; he says, tapping his chest proudly). \u00a0Power to the people!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Adobe drips<\/strong>: For some reason, Finn decided that his bath bubbles are Adobe (&#8220;That a bunch of Adobe down there!&#8221;). \u00a0He&#8217;s gotten way into dousing himself in the tub, and now he&#8217;s turned the little lobster cup on dad, pouring water &amp; bubbles onto the front of my head. &#8220;That Adobe drippin&#8217; down! Adobe drips!&#8221; \u00a0Somehow I started channeling our neighbor ladies&#8217; band and singing, &#8220;Pour some Adobe on meeee, in the name of love; Pour some Adobe on meeee, &#8217;cause I need a hug.&#8221; \u00a0(I&#8217;d write &#8220;Apologies to Def Leppard,&#8221; but isn&#8217;t it really they who owe all of us an apology?)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dinka-Dinka <\/strong><em><strong>OHyang<\/strong><\/em>: I work with a nice lady named Jackie Lincoln-Owyang who has a couple of kids of her own. \u00a0She gave Finn a couple of books, and when I told Margot where they came from, Finn said, &#8220;Dinka Dinka OHyang!&#8221; \u00a0Later he started grabbing random objects (e.g. an empty Coke carton) and saying, &#8220;That a Jackie Lincoln!&#8221; \u00a0Here you can hear us talking about it. \ud83d\ude42 (Press the little &#8220;Play&#8221; arrow below.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[audio:http:\/\/www.jnack.com\/micronaxx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/JLO.mp3|titles=JLO]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to whip out the Nack Family Secret Decoder Ring again. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Here are some recent additions to our slangy canon: Cheesy Zebras: Quesadillas. \u00a0Noticing the toasted stripes made by our panini press when warming a tortilla, Finn declared, &#8220;That a zebra right there!&#8221; \u00a0And thus were Cheesy Zebras born.
