Teddy: I think it might be a reference to the swedish chef. Or possibly that swedes or at least swedish-americans have a tendency to drop letters/syllables from words, regardless of whether there are apostrophes in the formal syntax or not.
I'm leaning towards the former, though, honestly, as I can't remember anything about the Swedish-Americans other than that they live in the cheese-producing states predominantly and may or may not be responsible for the Minnesotan accent.
Where did you get that idea?People hate the truth. They say they want it, but they can't handle the truth!
