Linguistic bemusement III

A DJ, returning to his former station after working at another station, remarked to another DJ that the station's previous regime didn't like it when he talked on-air about his kids.

"Phooey on 'em," the DJ said on the air.  "People like that."

I've rarely heard anyone say, "Phooey," in any context.  Good for him, though.  He related to the audience as a human being and showed admirable restraint in not saying something more blunt on the air.
