Hmm, discovered my last name "Cotter" means a "wedge" of some sort in a structure. I already know my first name "Sean" is an Irish version of "John". So I'm "toilet wedge"; some things are better left unknown...

Great link! Interesting how some have come and gone

Apparently I was born along with:

blow-dryer,
bummed,
catch-22,

fajita & sell-by date (the latter being necessitated by the former?)

minibar
primal scream therapy (first thing I tried)
stoner
tight-***
wise-***
and VCR

Also I believe D'oh! was invented by that bald Scottish guy with heavy eye makup in Laurel and Hardy, whom Laurel met working in Glasgow theater back in the day..
