Welcome, Penelope!

This is the one and only place on the world wide web that you'll find Genieisms... countless tales of careless slips-of-the-tongue by our dearly beloved Eugenie Wu.

From time to time I'll post a new Genieism, and we'll look for your feedback on the situation as well as Genies, as she feels she might have some explaining to do. I must say, some of these are simply unexplainable!

Now, I'm going to kick things off with the classic, numero uno, Genieism.

PENELOPE!

If my memory serves me correctly, we were in a hotel room somewhere in California watching a movie. When the credits began to roll, Genie asked, "Seriously, who would name their kid Penelope?" The issue, you may ask? She pronounced it pen-il-lope.

Discuss amongst yourselves!

I love Eugenie Wu and all the crazy things that she says. My most recent memory of Genie is driving down Southern. We passed a restaurant and she said "Janitor Mexican Food?" Ahhh, Genie, you're so cute. The sign actually read "Juanito's Mexican Food." But hey, janitors need to eat too!

As a matter of fact, we were watching "Kindergarten Cop", and Penelope Ann Miller is the actress that stars opposite the Governator.

Why were we watching this movie, anyone have any idea?

oh contraire mon frer, Kindgergarten Cop is a classic. How else would we have priceless lines like "It's not a tumah" (the Governator) or "Boys have penises and girls have vaginas." I mean honestly, I'm not sure that I was aware of the anatomical differences between male and female before I watched that quality film.
