Nacirema noun

The subject of a satirical article Pa once read in which an anthropologist reports upon the weird rituals of a tribe, before eventually revealing that they are none other than Americans

Collector

Pa – 1970s?
Noel King – father of Naomi

Notes

It must have tickled Pa because he was still quoting it from time to time decades later.

(Nacirema is American in reverse.)
