| Life is eternal, it does not end Our Father tells us so. Believe what he says, my friend for he surely does know. He created all life you see; death is just a transition he explains. He made life eternally so the soul forever will remain. The body is only the clothes we wear; we take them off when we go home. We won�t need them over there for our Father gives us new ones to wear. The new clothes last forever you see throughout all eternity. Once again we will all come together to share our lives and love in a new world even better, the one called heaven above. |

| During Jeff�s eulogy I made a reference to him �Having his own lingo�, therefore this message is meant to kinda pay honor to that lingo. I�ve started creating a list going from memory, but honestly there were so many phrases Jeff used, I�m kinda drawing a blank after the first few. I�ll try to add to this list as I continue to recall them. Please read through the list yourself and feel free to submit any additions you can think to add. You should send your corrections as well if I�ve mistakenly given an incorrect origin, or definition of a phrase or nickname. I think I heard something new every time I saw Jeff, so I�m sure there are many more �Jeff-isms� that I�m not aware of. This list made me smile the whole time I was thinking of all the quotes and nicknames included here. By reading the list yourself I hope it has that very same effect on you. Jeff was truly a wonderful brother. He had a great personality, a lightning quick wit, and obviously that crazy lingo that was all his own. He made me laugh my ass off for well over 30 years. In fact I�ll probably even continue to use some of his phrases for years to come. This makes me happy, because even though Jeff�s spirit has gone on, I know his memories will make me smile for the rest of my life. I love you bro. Save me a spot. Love Jim Jeff�s Lingo �Chainch� - Pa Carroll�s pronunciation of the word �chance�. (�We�ll have to take a chainch�, or the alternate version; �We�ll just have to chainch it�). �Like I said� � Our dad�s tendency to tell you something once, and then say; �Like I said� and repeat the whole statement, or story all over again (sometimes multiple times). �Rite, rite� � �Right, right� pronounced with a southern accent. This was usually repeated multiple times throughout a conversation with Jeff as a means of him agreeing with what you�re saying (Origin of this phrase unknown. I�m sure it was mimicking someone). �Appreciate it� � Acceptance of a compliment (i.e. You look nice today. �Appreciate it.�) �Naturally� � Obviously (i.e. The Mustang won the race. �Naturally�). �Snot locker, or Nose Meat� � Other names for your nose. �Mellon� � Your head. �Brewing� � Stomach churning just preceding the need to take a dump. �Peez-a-azz� � Piece of ass (i.e. I am one fine Pez-a-azz, ain�t I?). �Stupio� � Referring to someone stupid. When we were kids my uncle once brought over a friend to have our dad do some work on his car. This guy was a short funny looking guy who was Polish by the way, and his name was actually Frank �Stupio�. Jeff thought this name was absolutely hilarious, and the guy was in fact very stupid, so from that point on �Stupio� was your name if you did something dumb (i.e. �Way to go, Stupio�). �Knock you in the damn head� � A long time childhood friend of our dad�s (Larry Sanders) once told us a story of our dad driving so crazy that he was actually scaring Larry. He said he asked him to slow down several times, but he just ignored him, so Larry finally panicked and blurted out; �If you don�t slow this damn thing down, I�m gonna knock you in the damn head� (pronounced in a high pitched southern voice). Again, Jeff thought this phrase too was hilarious, especially when you heard Larry say it. �Flubboards� � Mocking Jim�s southern pronunciation of the word floorboard (i.e. the floorboards of my car are rust free). Jeff always said he could never figure out why Jim was such a red neck, when he and Jerry were not. �Dilauden� - Mocking Jim�s southern pronunciation of the medication �Dilaudid�. Nick Names (No one was ever called by their real name) �Daddy� � Everyone (i.e. �What�s up Daddy?�). �Shobby wee� � A nick name for Jeff himself. When we were kids our parents would call us by our first and middle names when we were getting in trouble. Well, when Jerry was a toddler he constantly heard the name �Jeffery Lee!� being shouted around the house ?, therefore one day when Jeff was teasing him, Jerry stopped and yelled out �Shobby Wee�! Jeff cracked up at this and the nickname stuck. �Shug� � Jerry Carroll. The southern preacher at our childhood church always called all the kids, both boys and girls, �Sugar� when he was talking to them (i.e. Com�mon Sugar, don�t play near the street). One day at church the preacher abbreviated this phrase a little and called Jerry �Shug� for short. Jeff overheard this and from that point on teased Jerry by calling him Shug. My aunt still calls him that. �Dagwood� � Jim Carroll. Exact origin unknown, but maybe it was due to my scrawny build compared to the other two brothers. �G� � Jeffery Jr. Ghetto code name. �Woodpecker� � Little Jeffery again. Origin unknown, but the bird reference is actually kinda ironic, because our dad�s nickname for Jeff Sr. as a child was �Rooster�. �Ruby Foreskin� � Jeff�s dog Ruby. Origin unknown. �Old Woman, or Battle Ax� � Jeff�s mother-in-law Netty. The origin of these names was nothing more than pure aggrevation. You see the more a person reacted to Jeff�s razzing, the more he wanted to tease them. Netty�s reactions made for constant entertainment for Jeff. He really liked to push her buttons. He�d make rude wise cracks to push her right to the brink of anger, then at the last minute real her back in. ? �Bird�, or �Face� � Sister-in-law Carol. �Bird� made reference to her long spindly legs. Origin of �Face� is unknown. �Vic�, or �Vicky� - Rob Antaya. Origin unknown. �Biff� � Another name for Rob. Origin unknown. �Ralby� � Yet another name for Rob. This is another one of those southern accent pronunciations, this time for the name �Robby�. It came from an older gentlemen (Vance Cobb) from our childhood church. �That Dago Boy� � Rob once again. Referring to Robs dark, Italian looking, complexion. �Vickery Hines� � You guessed it, Rob. I actually think Rob had more nicknames than anyone else Jeff knew. This name refers partially back to the nickname Vick, but also to the fact that Jim once told Rob he kinda resembled Gregory Hines (Black actor/tap dancer). Rob hated this nickname, so obviously it was a personal favorite for Jeff. ? �Stub� � Wesley Green. Wes once came over with a new car and Jeff noticed the license plate numbers started off with the letter STB. That�s all it took. From that point on, Wes was referred to as Stub, or Stubby. (I think that�s the way the story goes). �Swoop Baby� (Pronounced Swoop Bebbe) � Andy Miles. The word �swoop� initially made reference to feathered hair. While combing his hair Jeff would often change the words to that old disco song (The roof is on fire). His version was; �The Swoop, the swoop, the swoop is in my hair� (pronounced �heyyerr�.�). Eventually Andy got the nickname �Swoop Baby�, because he was the only one of us who actually had long �cool� hair. The rest of us tried to grow ours out, but the result was usually just a big poofy helmet-looking thing. The word �swoop� was also used in several other different applications. For example, if you had a cool car Jeff might say; �You got a pretty swoopy looking ride�. However, if you just got beat up in a fight Jeff might also say; �Man, that dude sure put the swoop on your ass�. �Cecil� � Amy Brown. This nick name comes from a story my dad once told of a bully in grade school named Cecil. Dad finally got sick of the bullying, so he hid behind a tree one day and warped Cecil on top of the head with a 2x4, almost knocking him unconscious. Jeff liked this story and felt Amy should also stand up to her bullying sister, resorting to a 2x4 if necessary. Therefore he immediately began calling here �Cecil�. �Cecil Flabulous� � Another nick name for Amy. I first thought he was using the word �fabulous�, but I later learned it was in fact �Flab-ulous�. I never asked anymore questions after that, so I think I�ll let Amy explain this one if she wants to. ? �Carlos� � Jodie. Origin unknown. �Jug Head� � Jeff�s ex-wife Tracy. Self explanatory. PS: �Drive like hell. If not, the life you save could be his ex-wife�. ? |
