Mbogo, Dr. Fred

Mbogo, Dr. Fred /*m-boh'goh, dok'tr fred/ n.  [Stanford]
   The archetypal man you don't want to see about a problem, esp. an
   incompetent professional; a shyster.  "Do you know a good eye
   doctor?"  "Sure, try Mbogo Eye Care and Professional Dry
   Cleaning."  The name comes from synergy between {bogus} and the
   original Dr. Mbogo, a witch doctor who was Gomez Addams' physician
   on the old "Addams Family" TV show.  Compare {Bloggs
   Family, the}, see also {fred}.
