My Uncle Vincent was a potsie. Thank goodness we only saw him a couple of times a year because he lived out of town!

 

[Aunt Marg]

I observed a man smoking a pipe while watching the dance show, the tobacco smelling funny, and after the show he looked over at me and commented, "that was quite the curtsy that young girl did", and I promptly replied, "that's quite the potsie you're smoking".

Now that I've learned the word potsie, I can finally categorize my younger brother. Had I known this earlier, I would
have given him the nickname of Potsie.

 

[Aunt Marg]

I've met my fair-share of potsie's in my day, along with a few potsie-heads.

My mind went straight back to 'Happy Days' and of course Potsie Webber
I loved all the characters even Richie's brother Chuck and his basketball which disappeared from the show
Remember he used his bouncing basketball as a kind of 'speech'
Apparently a College Scholarship beckoned

I used to love that show and Potsie was a real cutie, too!
