Sheesh, Shonny!
Such scorn from a man who cannot even spell Phooey!
phooey: interj. informal. an exclamation of scorn, contempt, disbelief.
etc.

Phooey on \"Pfui!\". (Sounds like you\'re spitting watermelon pips.)
Besides, who can tell the original form of the \"original\" joke.

Don\'t give her such a hard time.
