I remember him referring to Sofia's family (possibly Norwegian, though
Al would probably not make much distinction) as "squareheads," not
hoopleheads.

I was surprised to hear anatomical "taint" the other night, in a
discussion of the best way to remove Swearengen's bladder stone.  I
don't see this taint in the list archives.
