"tuhple" is a girly-man affectation.  That's why Guido and I both say
the manly "toople".  Jeremy's still a baby, so he says "tuhple", and
for the same reasons other adolescent males pierce their nipples. 
Barry sucks up to whoever he's talking with at the moment.  Fred is a
doc guy, so nobody remembers what he says ;-)
