>No, no, no. You only rhyme with the second word, and aren't supposed to even say it. So I should have called you just "Hams". It's just coincidence that ham rhymes with damn.

OK, that's right ... I remember now. So I get:

Fish is "Lillian" as in "Gish"
Jewelry is "Tom" as in "Foolery"
I can't get the chips reference though ... I can't come up with something for "Jockey's" ....
