Mbogo, Dr. Fred /*m-boh'goh, dok'tr fred/ /n./ [Stanford]
The archetypal man you don't want to see about a problem, esp. an
incompetent professional; a shyster. "Do you know a good eye
doctor?" "Sure, try Mbogo Eye Care and Professional Dry
Cleaning." The name comes from synergy between bogus and the
original Dr. Mbogo, a witch doctor who was Gomez Addams' physician
on the old "Addams Family" TV show. Compare Bloggs
Family, the, see also fred.
