Mbogo, Dr. Fred
/*m-boh'goh, dok'tr fred/ [Stanford] The archetypal man you
don't want to see about a problem, especially an incompetent
professional; a shyster. "Do you know a good eye doctor?"
"Sure, try Mbogo Eye Care and Professional Dry Cleaning." The
name comes from synergy between "bogus" and the original
Dr. Mbogo, a witch doctor who was Gomez Addams' physician on
the old "Addams Family" TV show. Compare {Bloggs Family,
the}, see also {fred}.
