The Hoyer Dictionary- Part the First

Kurt: "Oliver, he needs medical attention!"
Lillian: "How do you even know that phrase? And why does he need medical attention?"
Kurt: "He needs medical attention because he needs to be petted! Quickly, pet him!"

Opening up with this quote from this morning, I will give my readers a little window into some of the words and phrases that the Hoyers may say that any uniformed parties might be very confused with. We will start with:

"Yeah, right, just like those Russians are all bald and can't swim".
This is a another way of saying: 'Yeah right, just like pigs fly.' I can only claim partial credit for this one. Some time ago, I made the sweeping statement that ALL Russians are bald. I had seen a few pictures, like of presidents and such, and they always were bald. The swimming part was contributed by Gabe a few months later.

"Its time to do your dootys."
What are dootys? It is a corruption of the word duties made in the movie Nacho Libre (which, by the way, is very funny). My dad will often use this phrase when it is our turn to let the dogs in or feed them or do our chores.


"Guess what?"
"Chicken Butt"
"Guess why?"
"Chicken thigh"
"Guess when?"
"Chicken pen"
"Guess who?"
"Chicken Poo"
Yes, we didn't invent these (except for chicken pen), but any time someone says Guess what or why this phrase will come out.

So now you are at least partly prepared for anytime the Hoyers may say these things
