I think maybe that you're hearing it more than he intends to say it. Which may be a result of growing up with parents who said it?
I don't think Dr. Bob would like a board of Dinahs so I don't think he's saying that others should be more like me. I think he sometimes just likes something I've said. Just like he always mentions "faceful of cat" (which was seldomseen, not me).
I've recently quoted various things my mother has said. But I don't want people to be more like my mother.
