Things like Ok-a-lee Dok-a-lee, bang-a-rooni (or any word with an a-rooni attched to the ending) or alliterative-like phrases such as "that's a pickle of a peccadillo."

I'm guessing its somewhere between 30-35 %

Homer's just not good at impersonating people, as evidenced by his "impressions" of Ned, Mr. Burns, and George W and Jeb Bush.

Ironic, as George W Bush has been doing a great impersonation of Homer for some time now ;o)

I can imagine him correcting someone on his staff, saying, "It's pronounced 'nucular.'"

It's actually pi%. Why pi? The answer is intriguing! It's because there's a thread of continuity here that eventually completes a circle: it starts with the ancient Egyptian pyramids, continues through the Masons, then on to the tri-lateral commission and Flanders's peculiar way of speaking. When you look at it this way, and keep in mind the symbolism of the all-seeing eye featured on the back side of a dollar bill, it quickly becomes obvious who Kennedy's killer was...and it wasn't Lee Harvey Oswald.

pi%. See? It all adds up.
