Two common ones: A cup of Joe (coffee) and Porta-John (you know!) Just washed my thinking cap. When it dries, I'll put it on and be back.
Thinking cap still damp but I came up with several more: Sara Lee cheesecake or poundcake; Mrs. Smith's pies; Jim Beam whiskey; Johnny Come Lately; Harvey Wallbanger (mixed drink--alcoholic); Shirley Temple (do they still serve those non-alcoholic drinks anywhere?); Oscar, Emmy, Edgar -- all awards, Oscar and Emmy we all know, the Edgar is for mystery fiction writing; Dr. Dentons (footed pajamas); Roger Wilco (as a WWII vet, you know that one)...there are zillions!
These are fun to do. Thanks. Margo
