Title: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: PIMPPRIDE on September 25, 2009, 23:29:17 pm here at work, playing with a " dog house " cooler/fan/tin ect... curious who coined the phrase... " dog house " to our favorite cooler... or if it would ever be possible to trace it down... ???
also what VW related phrase did you coin or know someone who did... Anthony / ISP WEST Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: deano on September 25, 2009, 23:36:38 pm My guess would be GB...

Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: Jim Ratto on September 26, 2009, 00:14:17 am some of the new slang is irritating. I think we've already had a post about that though.
how about "IRS"? A swingaxle car is still, technically, an "independent rear suspension" Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: Rennsurfer on September 26, 2009, 00:34:55 am 99.9% of the new slang is beyond annoying. People just tryin' too hard and too lazy to pronounce words properly. But it's not just limited to the VW scene... every day, lately, I seem to be asking myself: "Where are we going, and why are we in this hand basket?"
To answer your question, ask Dee Berg. If she or her sons don't know, we're in trouble.

A swingaxle car is still, technically, an "independent rear suspension" Does the IRS drive cars with IRS? Or, do they swing? Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: PIMPPRIDE on September 26, 2009, 01:43:04 am good references to check into... I was thinking more of industry terms... not thinking of the slang thread... every one of the major suppliers use the " dog house " and was interested in this... as such an simple name like this shows there is power in words or terms...
as when anyone in VW circles mentions doghouse 99% of the time people know instantly what they are referencing towards Anthony / ISP WEST Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: Jason Foster on September 26, 2009, 14:43:38 pm 99.9% of the new slang is beyond annoying.

Amen to that Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: Mirko DVKK on September 26, 2009, 21:26:58 pm Don't know about the term "Dog house" but Bruce T and Kroc refer to my Berg linkage as the "Bed Frame" ;D
Who started that one? Mirko *edit, Do you have to bend a bed frame to adjust it?? ::) Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: andy M. on September 27, 2009, 17:52:35 pm The term dog house has been around for a long time, it was used during the war to describe the radiator installation on P51 Mustangs, so nothing new,
andy Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: deano on September 27, 2009, 18:23:18 pm The term dog house has been around for a long time, it was used during the war to describe the radiator installation on P51 Mustangs, so nothing new, andy Yes, but who made the connection between VW coolers <------> dog house? Sure sounds like a Berg deal to me. And by the way, ever notice the shape of the air intake on a WWII Mustang P51 plane, and today's Pro Stock hood scoops? Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: danny gabbard on September 28, 2009, 04:00:45 am Does this help you decide?
Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: ian c on September 28, 2009, 14:16:06 pm also what VW related phrase did you coin or know someone who did... Anthony / ISP WEST i started calling volkswagens "beetles" . now everybody does it !!! Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: pre-cal on September 28, 2009, 23:53:35 pm Pre-Cal
Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: jhicken on September 29, 2009, 04:52:52 am curious who coined the phrase... " dog house " to our favorite cooler... I think it was a guy named Mike... -jeffrey Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: deano on September 29, 2009, 05:19:08 am Pre-Cal Not so. Since that type of cooler came out in what, 1971ish? Basic Cal Look concept goes back even earlier than that. Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: John Rayburn on September 29, 2009, 05:29:57 am Does this help you decide? Danny, you opened a restaurant in Garden Grove?Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: Rennsurfer on September 29, 2009, 05:31:56 am Danny, you opened a restaurant in Garden Grove? I believe that he did, John. Turns out... that the House Cat is this week's special. Back on topic; I'm still going with the Gene Berg theory on this doghouse thing. Doug, what say you? Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: John Rayburn on September 29, 2009, 05:34:07 am .
Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: Rennsurfer on September 29, 2009, 05:36:13 am Right on cue, John. I was betting that you'd post that before sunrise. You went the distance.
Now... when ARE you gonna take delivery of this disc? Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: fastfred on September 30, 2009, 15:31:20 pm it might be the guy who had that "one eye duck" who found out about that "dog house" ... ??? 8)
Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: kingsburgphil on October 01, 2009, 05:15:48 am Since it's the little house behind the fan/house, it could have been called "The Out House". ;D
Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: . on October 01, 2009, 20:05:03 pm Since were on the subject, who named that little piece below the dog house the "Hoover bit" ?
??? Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: Gary Justus on October 01, 2009, 20:41:34 pm Since were on the subject, who named that little piece below the dog house the "Hoover bit" ? A guy by the name of Bob Hoover did extensive research on that piece and proper air-cooled engine cooling. I'm sure it was his followers that tagged that piece with his name. VW's name for that is "sealing frame",,,,,don't have the part# handy at the moment.??? Here it is 113-117-323 Title: Re: Who Coined the Phrase Post by: Jim Ratto on October 02, 2009, 00:57:15 am how about "carlos" who came up with that nickname? I just say "BITCH"
