[edit] C

[edit] Chi-wah-wah

In "The Thin White Line," Stewie joked that because of his sad demeanor, the dog Brian is a "chi-wah-wah." This witticism went unappreciated by the family. It is a combination of chihuahua and "wah-wah", an onomatopoeia for crying.

[edit] F

[edit] Fastizio

In the episode "The Thin White Line," when the rehab manager calls Peter a "degenerate," Peter thinks she has made up a word so he calls her a "fastizio" to show that he can also invent words.

[edit] G

[edit] Gatilsday

According to Lois, a new day of the week invented by NBC "so they could add another Dateline." She saw a "a two-part report on Dateline Tuesday and Dateline Gatilsday" that "kids do better when parents take an interest in their schoolwork." ("If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin'")

[edit] Giggity

[edit] Hic-a-doo-la

In "Fore Father," Quagmire takes Chris to the beach, where everyone is singing "It's a hic-a-doo-la world!" Chris asks what that means. He's told it means:

  • "that special feeling you get when you hold hands with your best gal."
  • "catching the perfect wave!"
  • "cheering real loud for the home team!"

A naval officer says hic-a-doo-la is "obeying all the rules," but all the other people disagree with him and throw him into the ocean.
