What was the OOC moment? I haven't seen that episode in a while.

That's it exactly, yes. I may have mentioned it a few times before...

I don't think that's OOC at all. It's Martin being a smart ass which VERY, VERY Martin!
The man was married to a shrink for 35 years. Some of the terminology was bound to rub off on him sooner or later.

That would be very convincing, if he didn't forget all those terms in later episodes! There's tonnes of examples of the Crane boys discussing things that go way over Marty's head - if he'd really taken everything in he wouldn't look blank when those subjects are brought up!
Nah, it was a piss-weak joke that didn't fit his character at all. He's more of a 'down-to-earth' smart-ass!

He has a "selective" psychobabble memory!

Off-topic I know, but that reminds me of what my friends and I used to say about Star Trek Voyager - they used what we called 'technobabble' all the time - e.g. the following conversation:
Kim: We're stuck!
Janeway: [uncomprehendingly] Stuck?
Kim: Er, we're mired in a gravitational eddy.
[Janeway nods to show she has understood.]
Doe she not understand the word 'stuck' or something?!

I don't know, but anyone who thinks we are obsessed with Frasier should check out some of the Star Trek forums! And no, don't worry, I don't belong to any of them!

Freaks and geeks are great! I'm both!
