Humor: Ixnay on the otten-ray

Young Frankenstein is a great movie.  Lots of good stuff, like the one in which they are arguing about the monster's brain.  Frederick von Fronkensteen says that it's a rotten brain, and the monster roars.  Eye Gore says "ixnay on the otten-ray" as a warning not to use the word "rotten" in reference to the monster's rotten brain.  That's because that makes the monster even more fierce than usual.  Eye Gore is using Pig Latin to fool the monster.

I'd like to use that phrase in relation to our political class, which is rotten.  However, if you use the word "rotten" too much with these people, they might come after you.

I think that it has happened before.

Ixnay on the otten-ray.  But I am going to use it anyway.  They are otten-ray, I tell you.  Otten-ray!
