i watched a lot of football with my dad when i was really little. he spoke with a chinese accent and whenever someone dropped the football, he would get really excited a shout. it wasn't until much later that i realized that instead of shouting "PHONE BALL!!" (like the ones we saw at the electronics store) he was shouting "fumble"
