<FONT FACE="Verdana"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I only know ‘Waltzing Matilda’ as the name of an Australian song. <BR>
<BR>
And I don’t know the history of Creeping Jesus, but I recall an interjection ‘Jumping Jesus Jeohsaphat!’ or something to that effect. I know it as a sort of expression of startled surprise.<BR>

compound word following the pattern 'verb/noun + a first name as a suffix,' like:<BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana"><BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">Zappelphilipp = a boy who can't sit still<BR>
Laberheini = rambling person (Heini is short for Heinrich)<BR>
Heulsuse = someone (man or woman) who cries a lot (Suse is short for Susanne) <BR>

</FONT><FONT FACE="Arial">I am interested in knowing how productive this kind of word formation is in English.<BR>
I am not looking for examples like "slick Willie, tricky Dick, nervous Nelly, honest Abe,"<BR>
some of which have become more or less common expressions. I am interested<BR>
in examples of the kind 'participle -ing + first name' which seem to correspond<BR>
to the German pattern mentioned above. Examples would be "smoking Joe" (for the<BR>
boxer Joe Frazier), "studying Jesse," "peeping Tom," "doubting Thomas",<BR>
especially if they have "made it" to become common expressions and are<BR>
included in the dictionary.<BR>
