namby pamby or poopycock?


you all know what i mean, who was a funnier judge? for me it was poopycock and jibber jabber :D

don't freak out.

My favorite was Jibber-Jabber, too. Especially in "Race Ipsa" when he called Alan "Mr. Shoop."

Absolutely judge poopycock. I just saw Brotherly love and the bowel movement scene made me lose it. My favorite part of the judge is that it's how he always is.

It's Nanzy Panzy, ftr

namby pamby for me. I am not sure but, I think it was poppycock and not poopycock, I might be wrong on this. If it was poppycock, it stolen from Mash's Harry Morgan AKA Colonel Sherman T. Potter

You're right that the correct term is 'poppycock', not 'poopycock', but it wasn't stolen from MASH. MASH may have used the term, but 'they' didn't invent it; it is an ancient word which has been in the lexicon for at least 150 years...

*** EDIT UPDATE BELOW ***

Straight after posting the text above, I coincidentally watched an episode which had that judge in it and he actually said "poopycock" a couple of times! Now I think I have to go back and see whether there were any episodes where he said "poppycock". Stay tuned for more exciting updates...

I told you I wasn't sure and now that I think about it, it is "poopycock"
