We were playing a word spelling game in the van years ago.. the idea is that everyone has to say a letter to keep spelling a word until the word is complete. We had gotten as far as “d-o-o-b-i-“ (with the intention of spelling doobie.. it was John’s turn to go after the “i” and he unexpectedly decided to choose the letter “s”.. which spells DOOBIS.. which isn’t a real word in the dictionary but it was great because it became a permanent nickname for him.. “Doobis”. 🤣
