Hoots pa.

Two more long-overdue amusing closed captioning sightings:

1) The night the viagra/blindness story broke, they were referring to erectile dysfunction and I SWEAR TO GOD I AM NOT KIDDING one time it said "erectile did I function." No offense to anyone with this disorder - I'm sure it's traumatic and nothing to joke about etc., etc. - but between the irony of the myth and this particular mistype, good lord I nearly fell off the treadmill.

2) Last Friday I was reading along to the Michael Jackson story on whatever station was on when I got there, and there was mention of him not having the "hoots pa" to stand up to his father.

New phrase to incorporate into everyday writing: hoots pa.
