(quasi-)neologisms

[Mark A. Mandel]

"Mullins, Bill" <Bill.Mullins at US.ARMY.MIL> says:
   >>>>>
Another usage is the 1977 National Lampoon album "That's Not Funny,
That's Sick".  One track, "Mr. Robert #2", has Christopher Guest (as
Rogers/Roberts) interviewing Bill Murry (as a bass musician).

Roberts:  Can you say Egg McMuffin?
Bass Player:  Egg a muffin.

This quote is from memory, so I may not have it right.  It may have been:
Roberts:  I like how you say Egg McMuffin.

Either way, Rogers was being far too gentle with the Jazz musician for
the "can you say" to be a put down.

The real Fred Rogers, of course, never did putdowns. He was a great soul.
