This is Jamie with our friend Poppy. Her mom owns the Red Door, one of our frequent hangouts.
She told us that in the seventh grade her first boyfriend was named Josh Koch (pronounced “cock”). She went home and told her dad that she was in love and was going to marry him.
“You can’t marry him,” her dad said. “Your name would be Poppycock.”
She went back to school and dumped him the next day.
Good work, Poppy.
Lol Poppycock.
It was always a joke in our family about surnames. Mum would see a name in the paper and would proclaim ” if your name was Johnny Mc Conky I’d NEVER have married you”! To this day, the tradition lives on with Chrissy and I.?
