Squiggleleedoogleleebobble!

There is no chance this is as funny in print as it is heard aloud from the source. Regardless:


Cliff: "Is this good, Mr. Vonn?" [He was asking about whether or not he had a good example to support his thesis statement.]

Me: "This is a good argument, Cliff, but actually you want to move that down here and move this example up [I point] here, before it."

Cliff, drawing a line to connect the sentence to the top of the essay: "Oh, do you mind if I do a little SQUIGGLE-LEE-DOOGLE-LEE-BOBBLE!?"

Me: "Yep, that's fine, a squiggleleedoogleleebobble is just fine."


It's always exhilarating to be present at the birth of a new word.
