Back in the day, a writer named Alfred Bester created a radio character who only spoke gibberish. One day he went to the producer and aske why they’d had the character say ‘woo-woo-woo’ when he’d written ‘blagga-blagga?’
The producers told him that they knew he was a sleazy New York Jew boy and he’d try to sneak in some dirty words into their scripts.
In the next script he introduced a character named Mr. Merkin.
