Source of "Jeez Louise" Revealed

Greensboro, NC

Penchant Lama today revealed the source of his popular "Jeez Louise" saying he so often uses when he is surprised or exasperated.

Several years ago on Mimjellia, Penchant's home island, a baby girl was born with a supernumery, a extra tooth other than the typical 20 baby teeth. The tooth was lodged in roof of the baby's mouth--which is quite rare--and prompted both the doctor and the girl's parents to exclaim in unison, "Jeez Louise." Louise of course was the name of the baby girl.

The girl's parents are close friends with the Lamas, which is how Penchant came to hear the phrase.

Here are examples of apprpriate times to use the phrase "Jeez Louise."

- when the line at the buffet is backed up out the door
- when amusement parks are closed due to bad weather
- when you see someone really ugly
- when your VCR doesn't work
- when you have to wake up before noon
