Hors d'oeuvres ( Horse Doovers )

 

I'm reminded of an exchange between two characters in the novel The Long Run, by Daniel Keys Moran:

 

"What are these... Whores-doovers?"

"Or-dervs. It's a Frog word that means munchies."

"Oh. They could have said."

[Apogee]

A few of my favorites:

  Fair To Midland

  Schmegma (don't know if that was mentioned before...)

  Schmedlap (a reference to some generic person)
