John LeClair was one of daddy’s college roommates

You need to know what the verb chungmao-ed means.  I spent one holiday break with your father at your grandparents.  We were driving, I’m not sure where; in the city I think.  It was a rainy nasty day in December.  We were stopped in traffic and all of a sudden; wham!  Your dad looked at me and asked what that was.  I said I’m pretty sure we just got rear ended.  We get out of the car and a diminutive Asian man with very little English gets out of his car.  He was very apologetic but unable to communicate much but for his name.  Which of course was Chung Mao.  Your dad’s car was totaled, which didn’t take much, we were driving around in Mercedes.  We had to travel to NJ to your uncle’s and he hooked up your father with a new/used car so we could drive back to school.

From that day forward, being rear ended was being chungmao-ed.   As in:

“Did you hear about Tom?  He got chungmao-ed.  Car’s a wreck but he’s fine.”
