A Peter Murray

When a person, typically from California, does “A Peter Murray” they do various horrendous acts including, telling dad jokes (as not a dad), singing dad jokes (still not a dad), and, normally, isn’t a dad.

The word originates from the Latin word petal las del murrat, which means to be hungry, but some English man mistranslated and misspelled the word to make this word

A little Pete Murray

If you’re hungover or feeling rough from self-inflicted pain, the phrase suggests you’ve definitely “seen better days” or felt better - a nod to Australian singer Pete Murray’s track Better Days.
