Fish eyed fool

1972-1977 CBS. Catch phrase used by Aunt Esther directed at Fred Sanford in response to his insults, frequently referencing all that ugly on her face. She will exclaim, "Why ya ole fish eyed fool!". Whilst the fish eyed meaning may be obscure, though has been used in the 60's or earlier, it may be speculated that Esther was telling Fred why he don't look in the mirror.

Why ya ole fish eyed fool!

Oonie

The vagina; this dates back at least to 1990, the Golden Girls episode Blanche Delivers in which Sophia comes up with the euphemism oonie.
Not to be confused with Ooni, a brand of portable wood pellet pizza ovensProbably coincidental in that Sophia is Sicilian and Ooni makes a pizza oven, but the brand name has its roots in Africa.

Dorothy: Ma, you know you're really hurting my feelings.

Sophia: Not as much as you hurt my oonie!

Hepatittis of the cunt

Refers to hepatitis in general. It is an antiquated expression of obscure origin. It's not well known what the cud part is. It seems very out of place. Indeed, HEPA means liver. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, not any kind of genitals. However, it can be sexually transmitted. So that loosely connects it to the word cunt. The additional T in hepatittis is a mispronunciation by lay people who weren't well versed in medical terms. So what is known about the expression is that there were at least two drifts from its original form. Indeed it was like a game of telephone. Now it is regarded as a very shocking phrase using the word cunt. What's more, it makes no distinction about a person's gender. Men and women alike can contract hepatittis of the cunt

I cannot go in that public bathroom. The toilets are filthy. That'll give you hepatittis of the cunt.

Normie

Chiefly an Alcoholics Anonymous expression. A person who does not have a drinking problem. Either they can drink in moderation and never drink in excess or they choose to be teetotalers without having ever developed a drinking problem themselves.

I cannot see how a normie can just stop at one beer.

Dauncey

Not feeling all that great. May also mean person, place, thing not looking all that great. The first known use of the term in mainstream was from I Love Lucy in 1952 where she goes to the doc and finds out she's pregnant. The character mentioned her grandma "making the word up". It's uncertain if it's the character grandma or actress's real life grandma who made it up, or claimed to. Alternative spelling dauncey.

Good heavens, I'm feeling rather dauncey. I hope I've not caught cv19!
