Welcome Moogie

Funny story Moogie. A number of years ago, probably about thirty there was a guy I worked with that retired who was 65 going on 90. He had emphysema, bad knees, heart, and 10,000 of bad road behind him. His first name was Henry. Well Henry always wanted to keep up with the younger guys at least mentally. This was in the early seventies when saying something, a quick one, two, or three word reply or a new saying, became the cool way of doing things. You know like the first guy who said, "only in America", know will will ever know, but at this point who cares who coined the phrase. Now to my point. I walk into work one day at the change of shifts and Henry was all excited and was trying to point out something and be funny about how he was trying to make his point. Well out of his mouth comes "suckamoogie". And all the younger guys paid tribute to Henry by using this meaningless word out of respect to Henry. Now comes Moogie, you, and it brought back old memories, thank you. What is a moogie, by the way?
