Does anyone ever hear people refer to this show as the Monsters?


I'm always hearing people call it that LOL

Just because we lose today's battle doesn't mean we've lost tommorow's war.

All the time, unfortunately.

They're also the same people who routinely say "axe" when they mean "ask", and use "Pacifically" to mean "specifically."

They also say "doggy dog world" because they don't have the education to know that the phrase is "dog eat dog world".

All of which leads me to believe that we've lost both the battle and the war.

When I was little I actually thought that was the name of ther show lol

But I'm always hearing people refer to Herman as "Herman the monster". I dont think that phrase was ever uttered in the show lol

And I've never head the "doggy dog world". haha :)

Yes, I've heard more than one person call it "Monsters" instead of "Munsters". I've also had people called the bottled water "Canadian Clearly" instead of "Clearly Canadian". I've also heard the "doggy dog world" phrase too.



Yippee: "For king!"
Yappee: "For country!"
Yahooie: "And, most of all, for 10¢ an hour!"

When my sister was little she used the word "Munsters" to describe all monsters.

I suppose it's similar to the oft-skitted in the Simpsons practice of calling The Creature "a Frankenstein".

Oh yeah, and apropos a post I've just contributed to, I also often hear people referring to coffins being carried in a "hearst"!

When I was a little kid I confused the names of Herman Munster and New York Yankees catcher Thurman Munson. And I referred to Munster cheese as monster cheese.

reply

Thurman Munson was a MLB player who died in a plane crash. He was not part of the Munster family
