This is "Auntie." Apparently she is some poor kid's aunt. We encountered Auntie at the Golden Nugget Sportsbook during the Rose Bowl. (yes, we DID spend a lot of time in sportsbooks.) Here are a couple of the dialogues we had with Auntie, thrown in for the hell of it:

MIKE: Who are you rooting for, Auntie?
AUNTIE: MICHIGAN!!!! WHOO WHOO WHOO!!!! [This in the fourth quarter.]
MIKE: Did you see them play Oregon?
AUNTIE: Oregon? No!!! WHADDAPENED?
MIKE: Oregon won!
AUNTIE: They couldn't have!! NO WAY!!!

AUNTIE: Hey, how do you say, uhm, double, except for eight? Like, double but eight?
ME: That would be "octuple."
AUNTIE: Occctuple? HARHAHRHRAHRHRAHAR!!! HEY SHERRY, AH'M SEEIN'--what was that again?
ME: "Octuple."
AUNTIE: Are you bullshittin me?
MIKE: Why would he bullshit you?
AUNTIE: I donno. SHERRY!!!! AH'M SEEIN' OCCCCTUPLE!!!!!

So now you know.
