"tuhple" is a girly-man affectation. That's why Guido and I both say
the manly "toople". Jeremy's still a baby, so he says "tuhple", and
for the same reasons other adolescent males pierce their nipples.
Barry sucks up to whoever he's talking with at the moment. Fred is a
doc guy, so nobody remembers what he says ;-)
