I always liked the old Dick Van Dyke show. I bet many of you did too! But until I saw this episode, I had no idea that Rob Petrie was a Freeper! What do you think? Click Here, then click on the Dick Van Dyke show snapshot to decide for yourself!

You click on the picture and then an audio clip plays. I couldn't make sense out of it. Something about asking what sleep was.
To: SamAdams76
Sorry. I guess your computer can't show the video. They are playing Scrabble or something. Rob makes up a word. Can anybody understand the made-up word (circa 1962)? Listen carefully! Now don't be hard on me. I just thought this was funny.

The file name says "freeperDickVanDyke"....I couldn't play it, but I now see the curiousity.
To: old-ager
Oh, you named the file. D'oh! Pardon my ignorance. It's getting late.

Was Rob Petrie a Freeper? I don't know if Petrie was a Freeper, but his wife was a dish!

Transcript for the A/V impaired (I admit the sound is distorted though):
Rob: [ rolls game pieces and says something ]
Jerry: Right!
Rob: Oh! I see an easy five-letter word right away, F-R-E-E-P: Freep!
Jerry: Freep! What's that?
Rob: That's a baby Frope!
Laura (chastising Rob): Oh, Rob.

Actually the video did play. But they are talking too fast for me to understand. Something about a "five-letter word" but it sounds like they are saying "F-R-E-P (dragged out) - slope. And then the other guy asks what it is and he says something like "That's a baby throat."
Sorry, I'm not cracking wise. I listened at least a dozen times trying to figure it out!
To: Fred Mertz
[sounds like...] Dentist: "What's a 'freep'?"
Dick: "That's a baby froe."
To: old-ager
Thanks for the transcript for those of us hearing-impaired.
To: SamAdams76
He uses the word FREEP in what seems to be a game of Scrabble.
The other guy asks what a freep is. He says it's a baby frope.
Get some good speakers, people!
To: old-ager
Yeppers.
To: old-ager
Thanks for the transcript. I guess I need to update my speakers!
To: BinaryBoy
Unfortunately my TV-capture card is saving out really distorted audio. But he is saying F R E E P!

Due to this groundbreaking etymological discovery, from now on, when there's a really BIG FREEP somewhere, we will have to call it a FROPE!
