Children of a certain age (you know it as well as I do) have a certain vocabulary that's never been fully standardized because it was served up by the good Doctor.

One of my best friends is still called Yert (for Yertle) and we called a guy on a baseball named Sam green. Enough that the scorers for the opposition would sometimes list him as Sam Green in the score book.

What a wonderful post to read today. I've loved Dr. Seuss for a significant fraction of my life. Thank you for it!
