How the Doog became the Doog

Many of you have wondered why we call Molly "the Doog." Here's a brief explanation: Molly's full name is Molly D. Doog. Last year, during Adam and I's tenure as legal writing instructors at Penn, we created a hypothetical problem for an office-memorandum assignment. To make the assignment a bit more realistic, we created a fictional associate, who was requesting the memo. That fictional associate turned out to be Molly D. Doog. We derived Doog from "dog" and "dude." Molly also goes by the following nicknames: potato (cause she sits around all day) and black bullet (because she can outrun any dog and most small horses).

Disclaimer: Approved by the Doog.

I can't believe you are a writing instructor after reading your sentence,

"Last year, during Adam and I's tenure as legal writing instructors at Penn,..."

where did you study grammar?
