MARGISMS
Margism, (mar.jiz'.em) n, 1. Strange, indecipherable utterances - Normally attributed to Marge
Hogan (aka "Large Marge"), though those exposed to her for extended periods may be prone to
such gibberish.  2. A puzzling and often hilarious figure of speech with weak ties to the English
language.
Below is an incomplete list of Margisms from years past.  New ones are most assuredly
being created daily from Marge's inventive mind, though witnesses rarely have the
composure to write them down for posterity.  Enjoy!
