Orange-skinned tycoon Mitt Romney isn’t just an incredibly rich executive trying to buy what few others want (the 2008 GOP nomination), he’s also a weirdo who speaks in some kind of bizarre Mayberry RFD language that only his 72 sons can understand. Here are some examples, and what they might really mean:
* “Gosh.” (Origin obscure; likely refers to “Goshen,” a mythical bible land between Las Vegas and Boulder.)
* “Boy, we’ve got the whole gopher village up here.” (This might be a sex thing?)
* “This is so much fun.” (Counting money.)
* “Whoop-de-doo!” (Definitely a sex thing.)
* “Gosh, I love America.” (He doesn’t want you to know his dad is Mexican.)
* “Holy Moly.” (Reference to the Mormon god, “Moly.”)
* “I do love chocolate malts!” (Something about Fred Thompson’s colorful and wide-ranging sex life.)
* “Oh, grunt.” (See above.)
