Maybe Allie Jr. should trademark all his dad's isms.

I heard about this on a local radio show (because the Bulls radio announcer also says "onions"). I'm not sure how to feel about it. My first instinct is that it's silly, but I guess I can see both sides.

I suppose it might be more difficult to trademark "mantoman".

"Finally may get to cash in off his words?"

He has been working at ESPN for 32 years, and now is with Fox sports one, making plenty of money...in large part because of his unique language.  Sounds like he's been cashing in off his words for many years.

Sorry Bill, "onions" as a slang word has been around a long time in NJ. Typically it is, "that guy has big onions". Maybe we should copyright " big cahoonas" or "big cojxxxx", these are also used. It is getting, " a little nuts".  Ugh, maybe we should copyright that too.
