Some family oddities...Dad uses the phrase "gluck gluck" to describe any food dish he doesn't know the name of ("Dinner's ready, mom's made some chicken gluck gluck."). Not so odd but I like it: He also says "pert near" ("There's pert near 20 of 'em."). Mom's family says "kooey bah-chee" when something is dirty or gross. It's mainly used for talking to kids, but also to describe really bad food. No one knows where it came from. They also say "Yuh-hut tay yuh-hut" which means "If we're going to go, let's get going." I'm not sure where they got that one, either.
