I was reminded of "loosey Goosey" by another poster's use of the ever so elegant phrase, 'je ne sais quoi...'
The two phrases, in my mind, can be quite above board, as well as really down and dirty. Especially 'loosey goosey', which because of the two sibilants, allows for added slurring if one so chooses, especially when you and that certain je ne sais quoi are naked together. Try whispering a low 'looooshiee goooshiee' in his/her/its ear and see what happens!
What makes this on topic, is that TBMs simply can't use either phrase! Well, they can try, but it always sounds so false, so hollow! There's no way mormons want to admit they don't know something, so 'je ne sais quoi' isn't something they want to admit.
And using 'loosey goosey' in conversation leaves them vulnerable to silly, loud laughter, and you know how they're supposed to feel about that.
To test my hypotenuse (sounds funnier than hypothesis), during this coming week try to use 'je ne sais quoi' and 'loosey goosey' in conversation with TBMs. There's no grade involved with his assignment, but Holy McGhost and I are tight and I could put in a good word for you, if you want.
