gottle of geer

gottle of geer

cliché A phrase used to imitate and represent ventriloquism (due to how famously difficult the phrase "bottle of beer" is for ventriloquists to say). Often used to imply or indicate ventriloquism in a metaphorical sense. "Of" is sometimes shortened to "o’." A: "Want to come see an amateur ventriloquist performance?" B: "And watch some schmuck with a dummy try to say 'gottle o’ geer' for an hour? No thanks." A: "He's basically just a puppet being used by the leader of the other country." B: "It's so true. Can you say 'gottle of geer'?" Yeah, I don't really have any interest in ventriloquism. Do people actually enjoy watching a "talking" doll say stuff like "gottle of geer"?
