In honor of Father's Day, I thought I'd pick on my Dad. My Dad likes to kid around with us, using our terms. This is a riot since often he gets them just a bit wrong. He used to make fun of "hip" sayings when I was kid, saying things like "Right arm dude." Now, I am not sure if he is kidding with us or if his hearing loss is causing him to hear things wrong.
A few examples:
We have a game we call "Chip Whore" since the point of the game is to collect chips. We are creative namers like that. One day my Dad asked to play "Chipour". Confused the hell out of Phollower and I.
Remember the forklift? He called it the "steam shovel" later on in our vacation, causing us all to laugh our asses off.
Also while we were vacationing, he was yelling for his wife who was inside one of the cabins we stayed in. She did not answer. So my brother suggested she was inside masturbating (note: my family is brutal), causing my Dad to say she was "rubbing one off" (instead of "rubbing one out" as our little group calls the deed).
My Dad is a great Dad and a good friend. I know picking on him is not a nice way to say "Happy Father's Day." But it is the way my family shows love. And I do love him, crazy sayings and all.

Your family sounds a lot like mine.
That is indeed a brutal family. Well done.
I love your Dad too, maybe more than you do, just kidding.
"I think Chipour" was his nickname for the game, wasn't it? Like a fancy version of Chip Whore?
Everything he likes has a nick name.
Karbonzo Bean, Beano-D'Vino, Mr Excitement, Stat Man, LB, Pebbles, ________ Slutchinson (my friend who had a baby in highschool who's last name rhymed with Slutchinson), Home Dumpsite, Target (said with a French accent), Abracadabragail, NickerNacker, Slops (Tops), The Wonder Slug, ...
Gosh, there has to be 100 more.
