My mother always says, "Oh! Banana Oil!" instead of "Fuuuck!" Must be a Canook thing. She also cheers the soup: "C'mon, soup! Rah, rah, soup!" which is supposed to encourage it to get hot faster. She sings this while pointing her big wooden spoon at the pot. Like a diving rod.

Clearly, my problems are genetic.
