Thank you to Sally for reminding me about "McNuggers", the inspiration behind my blog's name. Suffice to say the story behind "McNuggers" is rather long and sordid. I can tell you that the origins of said "McNuggers" involved a drunken night, a van-sized taxi cab, and a McDonald's drive thru. That's all. I. Swear.
I thought the humour of "McNuggers" was too 'had to be there', and any of the short forms I came up with, well let's just say they were straddling (painfully so!) the PC line.
And then I remembered one of my son's first "Daxisms", uttered around the age of 2 1/2. One evening I cleaned his ear with a Qtip only to discover a golf ball-sized piece of ear wax to which he proclaimed, "chicken nugget!"
And so, Knugette was born.
