dr. fred mbogo
(jargon) | Dr. Fred Mbogo
/@m·boh'goh, dok´tr fred/, n.
[Stanford] The archetypal man you don't want to see about a problem, esp.
an incompetent professional; a shyster. “Do you know a good eye doctor?” “
Sure, try Mbogo Eye Care and Professional Dry Cleaning.” The name comes
from synergy between bogus and the original Dr. Mbogo, a witch doctor who
was Gomez Addams' physician on the old Addams Family TV show. Interestingly
enough, it turns out that under the rules for Swahili noun classes, ‘m-’ is
the characteristic prefix of “nouns referring to human beings”. As such, “
mbogo” is quite plausible as a Swahili coinage for a person having the
nature of a bogon. Actually, “mbogo” is indeed a Ki-Swahili word
referring to the African Cape Buffalo, syncerus caffer. It is one of the “
big five” dangerous African game animals, and many people with bush
experience believe it to be the most dangerous of them. Compare {Bloggs
Family} and J. Random Hacker; see also Fred Foobar and fred.
