No. My eldest grand daughter use to call me Poppa Gringo when she was younger. Her dad usually referred to me as Gringo. That is how she derived her name for me. Hence, 'Old Gringo'.

I hope you will forgive the bawdy language. I have been severely chastised for it. Consequently, it won't happen again.

Just got back on line - bringing up the rear as usual. I'll cover the rear, of course I'm skinny and can't hear well, but it's the effort that counts. Right!

Let's face it, we could change it to dubious and delirious. How's that?

When my cousin was about 4 years old, he swore like a trooper. This one time his mother said, "If you say another cuss word I'll wash your mouth out with soap." Well, that was a dare, so he swore, and she did wash his mouth out with soap. He looked at her and said, "You didn't have to use so GD much did you?"

I'm not sure you do. He, if I'm not mistaken, is an old trooper, and you know how they can 'talk'. Similar to a Swabbie aboard ship, or a Marine on deployment. They have a vocabulary all their own. :lol:
