We also say someone is ‘cuckoo in the coconut’ in the US to indicate someone is crazy. It’s a bit older but it’s something most people would understand if not use.

My family says this too. The correct response to it is to stay where you are and do a stupid dance, or exaggeratedly lounge even more in front of the TV.

My family days this too and the answer is to dramatically make a creeeeeak sound as you pivot 90* to the side.

It's from the Algonquian language. It means washbear.

It actually means 'he scratches with his hands' in Algonquin.

Interestingly enough, the Spanish word - mapache - comes from a different North American language (Nahautl) and it means 'he who takes everything into his hands'.

I want to say I’ve seen that in a series of 3 videos and on the third one he stops dipping it and just munches down and looks super happy. But I can’t find it.

This is interesting. "Cutpurse" and "Sellsword" are two more. I learned those from A Song of Ice and Fire.

Edit: it's possible GRRM made these up, but they still fit the pattern.

He didn't but they are two additional examples!

The gently caress?

He's confused about whether W is a consonant or a vowel.
